What you can specify
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Low-profile floor track
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
Fitting in Nottingham and nearby
We can arrange French door grilles across Nottingham, the main centre for Nottinghamshire, and in nearby towns including West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall.
Nottinghamshire mixes Nottingham's Victorian terraces and Lace Market warehouses with former mining towns and their high streets.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- French doors to gardens
- Ground-floor flats
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- 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.
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
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.
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.

French door grilles in Nottingham: questions
Which areas near Nottingham do you cover?
We can arrange work in Nottingham and in nearby West Bridgford (2 miles), Arnold (3 miles) and Hucknall (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
