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

Edinburgh's Old and New Towns are a World Heritage Site full of listed tenements and shops, surrounded by suburbs and the Lothians' towns.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- French doors to gardens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Ground-floor flats
- Dining rooms and kitchens
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 Scotland
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

French door grilles in Dalkeith: questions
Can you survey in Dalkeith and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Dalkeith, Musselburgh, Edinburgh and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians are booked around installer availability.
Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
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.
