What you can specify
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Low-profile floor track

Things to decide before you order
Door swing

Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Rules that apply in 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.
