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. Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior.

Locks can be fitted at the bottom rail or into the counter, and keyed alike with other shutters. Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas.

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

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.
