French door grilles are usually a pair of retractable grilles that fold to each side of the doors and meet in the centre, where they lock together. They protect the glazing and the meeting stiles, which are the weak point of many French doors.
What you can specify
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Low-profile floor track
- Each side opens independently
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house

Cumbria mixes stone-built houses in its market towns and Lake District villages with industrial-era terraces in Barrow, Workington and Whitehaven.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Ground-floor flats
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Period homes with timber French doors
Things to decide before you order
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
One side or both
A centre-meeting pair lets you open one side for everyday use.
Rules that apply in England
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
