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.

Things to decide before you order
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

French door grilles in Chesterfield: questions
Do you cover Staveley as well as Chesterfield?
Yes. As well as Chesterfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Staveley, Dronfield and Sheffield, and elsewhere in Derbyshire.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
