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. Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space.

Locks can be fitted at the bottom rail or into the counter, and keyed alike with other shutters. Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals.

Features to choose from

  • Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
  • Bottom-rail or counter locks
  • Face or reveal fixing
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Keyed-alike locking options
  • Fire-rated versions for compartment walls

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Harwich

Do you cover Harwich?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Harwich. We also cover nearby Felixstowe, Ipswich and Clacton-on-Sea.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

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.
