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 goes into a French door grille
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Low-profile floor track
- Each side opens independently
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock

Northumberland is largely rural, with stone-built market towns such as Hexham and Alnwick and terraced former mining towns in the south-east.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- French doors to gardens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Period homes with timber French doors
Things to decide before you order
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
One side or both
A centre-meeting pair lets you open one side for everyday use.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.
