Collapsible Gates

Habitable and sustainable, collapsible gates are considered the most versatile retractable security grille option to choose for windows and doors. When in the unsecured position the lattice retracts within the grilles structure to minimise its appearance. This makes collapsible gates a viable option for fire and safety compliance, and often a preferred grille option for aesthetical reasons.

For a range of permanently fixed grille solutions which could offer a better range of ideas to suit your security needs, check window bar grilles or window mesh grilles.

Our collapsible gates are operated from a simple push-to-lock mechanism and are not built into the gate. If necessary, it is possible to change the locks for alternative types after they're installed.

We manufacture each individual gate by hand and have the capability to make specific adjustments to suit a range of requirements. Some of our customers like to prioritise and maintain detailed building features which they value more than grilles, and we like to understand this.

To protect windows from burglary and break-ins, installing window bar grilles are often considered the ultimate solution. A bar grille is a type of security grille that consists of steel bars welded within a frame and fixed to a window to restrict unwanted access. There is no strict rule as to how they're made, but there are some common styles which are often seen within London and other towns and cities. You can find more information on that here.

Unlike retractable grille types, Bar Grilles are often the static grille option which is why they are commonly specified and used for strong, high security needs. It is possible to add removable/hinged features for safety purposes, but before considering this be sure to look into collapsible gates which are considered the most suitable grille for opening and closing. They can be made in various ways to suit a range of openings and installed both internally and externally.

A security grille with minimal gaps as it's main feature, mesh grilles are well applied to offer a restrictive form of access. Whilst offering a reasonable level of overall security, mesh grilles help prevent breaking glass and restrict objects or hands to pass through it's barrier.

We can offer a range of mesh to suit a specification. As standard, we offer expanded diamond mesh and square weld mesh types.

Mesh is often used as a fixed grille solution, but it is of course possible to add hinges or removable framed sections.

As similarly described for security window bars, bar grille doors offer an additional barrier specifically for doors and other walk-through openings. To increase security to an existing door a bar grille door can offer some additional security features and provide a good extra level of protection. As an individual door it can offer a barrier to passages whilst maintaining visiblity and air flow.

We manufacture and install our bar doors to include a british standard (BS3621) lock which is typically approved by insurance companies. Our standard locks can be changed at a later date and are reasonably avaiable for public purchase.
