Choices you can make
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom

Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

French door grilles in Buxton: questions
Do you cover Macclesfield as well as Buxton?
Yes. As well as Buxton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Macclesfield, Hazel Grove and Congleton, and elsewhere in Derbyshire.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
My French doors open inwards. Can I still have a grille?
Yes. The grille is set back from the doors so they can swing open, or fitted outside if there is no room inside.
