Counter & hatch shutters in Durham: the essentials
Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals. Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space.
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.
Specification options
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Slim laths and compact box
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
