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
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Each side opens independently
- Low-profile floor track
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames

We can arrange French door grilles across Llanelli, the main centre for Dyfed, and in nearby towns including Gorseinon, Swansea and Ammanford.
South-west Wales is largely rural, with stone and rendered terraces in towns such as Llanelli, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest and many holiday properties on the coast.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- French doors to gardens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Dining rooms and kitchens
What to think about first
One side or both
A centre-meeting pair lets you open one side for everyday use.
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Consents and safety: Wales
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Bedroom and escape windows
Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

French door grilles in Llanelli: questions
Which areas near Llanelli do you cover?
We can arrange work in Llanelli and in nearby Gorseinon (5 miles), Swansea (10 miles) and Ammanford (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
