ABOUT COLLAPSIBLE GATES

Retractable Security Gates

Collapsible sliding grilles for windows and doors have been very popular for many years now. Especially for residential properties, they are the preferred option over fixed window grilles. You can have them fitted internally or externally, we personally always recommend having them fitted internally whenever possible.

They are made from galvanized metal and then powder coated for extra protection against rust, this makes them suitable for outside applications. For when they are fitted externally slightly lowers the security of the grilles.

You can choose the level of security you want your grilles to be by upgrading the locking system on the grilles. They come with one standard push lock in the centre as standard; you could choose to add an extra push lock.

More About Collapsible Gates

If you would prefer to have your window grilles with a higher security lock, then we would advise you to have hook locks fitted and two of them to each gate. This would upgrade the security of your grilles massively and you could rest assured you have made a potential thief’s life a lot harder.

Although collapsible sliding security gates are a high security option, they still look aesthetically pleasing and can even compliment the look of your properties curb appeal. Once they have been installed you can then slide them fully open and they can be hidden in the reveals of your window or behind curtains. This then allows full use of your windows and doors, as well giving the appearance of having no bars at all. If you keep them in the locked position, they allow natural daylight in and you can leave your windows and doors open for ventilation and still be secure.

Before or after having your collapsible sliding grilles fitted you can contact your home insurance provider and let them know, in many cases this will lower your home insurance premiums. There is no need to check with building regulations as they can be removed and the holes can be filled in at any time, if you rent your property, it would be best to check with your landlord and explain this and we are sure they will be happy to go ahead with them. As far as high security solutions go, they are a low-cost option with a high security application.

You can choose which colour you would like to have your window grilles powder coated, they come in white as standard. If you would like we can show you a RAL chart so you can choose from the many colours available. There are also different options to choose from that may help in different situations, for example you can have a lift up and pull out the bottom track if it might become a trip hazard or if you would like to keep a counter top clear. You can also choose if you want your gates to slide close and meet in the middle or to slide open to one preferred side.
