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
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Low-profile floor track
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
Fitting in Southampton and nearby
We can arrange French door grilles across Southampton, the main centre for Hampshire, and in nearby towns including Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh.
Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- French doors to gardens
- Ground-floor flats
- Dining rooms and kitchens
What to think about first
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.
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 Southampton: questions
Which areas near Southampton do you cover?

Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
