Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.

A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Planning and safety in 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 Witham: questions
Which areas near Witham do you cover?
We can arrange work in Witham and in nearby Maldon (5 miles), Braintree (7 miles) and Chelmsford (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
