How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection. Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior.
Reception desks and ticket offices use them to secure the counter when staff are away. Locks can be fitted at the bottom rail or into the counter, and keyed alike with other shutters.
Options we can specify
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Manual or electric operation
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Face or reveal fixing

Rules in England
Fire safety law and fire shutters
In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Leighton Buzzard?
Yes. Leighton Buzzard (LU7) is within our Bedfordshire coverage, along with nearby Dunstable, Bletchley and Milton Keynes.
Can a bar shutter look like wood?
Yes. Timber-effect and powder-coated finishes are available so the shutter suits the bar.
Are counter shutters manual?
Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.
Does my kitchen hatch need a fire-rated shutter?
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, the opening must not weaken it, so a fire-rated counter shutter is usually needed. Your fire risk assessment or fire strategy will say.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
