Choices you can make
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Low-profile floor track
- Each side opens independently
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock

Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

French door grilles in Maldon: questions
Can you survey in Maldon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Maldon, Witham, Chelmsford and elsewhere in Essex are booked around installer availability.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
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.
