How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space.
Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals. Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals.
Features to choose from
- Manual or electric operation
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes

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.
