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
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Low-profile floor track
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
Fitting in Stroud and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Stroud and across the GL5 postcode district, as well as in nearby Gloucester (8 miles) and Cirencester (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Gloucestershire mixes Cotswold stone towns and villages, Regency terraces in Cheltenham, and the commercial and retail centres of Gloucester and Yate.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Ground-floor flats
- French doors to gardens
- Dining rooms and kitchens
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

French door grilles in Stroud: questions
Do you cover Gloucester as well as Stroud?
Yes. As well as Stroud, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gloucester, Cirencester and Cheltenham, and elsewhere in Gloucestershire.
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.
