Choosing counter & hatch shutters for premises in London
Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. 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. Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space.
Features to choose from
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Face or reveal fixing
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Slim laths and compact box

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.

Counter & hatch shutters: common questions
Do you cover London?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in London. We also cover nearby Westminster, Pimlico and Islington.
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.
Are counter shutters manual?
Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
