Side-folding security grilles, also called scissor gates, protect storefront windows and doors after hours while leaving visibility. We install and service the locking side of folding grilles, including padlocks, locking bars and tracks, and can coordinate fabrication for new grilles.
When to call us
- Your storefront needs after-hours protection.
- The grille is hard to slide or will not lock.
- The padlock is rusted or has been cut.
- The grille was damaged in a break-in attempt.
How the job works
- We assess the opening and existing grille.
- Locks, tracks and padlocks are serviced or upgraded.
- New grilles are measured and coordinated.
- Installation is completed and tested.
- Keys are keyed alike to your other locks where possible.
Getting the most from a folding grille
A folding grille is only as strong as its locking points and its fixing to the building. Bottom and top tracks must be securely anchored, and the locking bar or padlock should be hard to reach and cut. Hardened, shrouded padlocks are worth the extra cost here.
Grit and rust in the tracks make grilles hard to slide, and staff start leaving them partly open. Regular cleaning and lubrication keep them working.
What affects the price
The dispatcher explains the service call before anyone is sent, and the technician confirms the total with you before starting any work that adds cost. The main price drivers are:
- Service versus new grille.
- Opening size.
- Padlock and lock grade.
- Installation complexity.
