What to know about counter & hatch shutters in Chester-le-Street
Reception desks and ticket offices use them to secure the counter when staff are away. Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters.
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.
Options we can specify
- Manual or electric operation
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Slim laths and compact box
- Face or reveal fixing

Rules in England
