What to know about counter & hatch shutters in Dumfries & Galloway
Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters. 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.
Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior. Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals.
Specification options
- Manual or electric operation
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Face or reveal fixing
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls

Rules in Scotland
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 Scotland the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require the duty holder to keep fire safety measures, including fire shutters, maintained in efficient working order and good repair.

Your questions answered
Does my kitchen hatch need a fire-rated shutter?
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, the opening must not weaken it, so a fire-rated counter shutter is usually needed. Your fire risk assessment or fire strategy will say.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
