What to know about counter & hatch shutters in Greater London

Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals. Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection.

Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas. Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters.

Specification options

  • Slim laths and compact box
  • Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
  • Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
  • Keyed-alike locking options
  • Easy-clean finishes for kitchens

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.

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.

Questions about counter & hatch shutters in Greater London

Can counter shutters be keyed alike?

Yes, the locks can be keyed alike so one key opens several shutters.

Are counter shutters manual?

Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
