How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
Reception desks and ticket offices use them to secure the counter when staff are away. Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior.
Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters. Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals.
Features to choose from
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Face or reveal fixing
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Slim laths and compact box
- Bottom-rail or counter locks

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.

Questions about counter & hatch shutters in Chester
Do you cover Chester?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chester. We also cover nearby Ellesmere Port, Halewood and Bebington.
Are counter shutters manual?
Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.
Can a bar shutter look like wood?
Yes. Timber-effect and powder-coated finishes are available so the shutter suits the bar.
Can counter shutters be keyed alike?
Yes, the locks can be keyed alike so one key opens several shutters.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
