How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
Reception desks and ticket offices use them to secure the counter when staff are away. Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas.
Locks can be fitted at the bottom rail or into the counter, and keyed alike with other shutters. Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters.
What's included
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Slim laths and compact box
- Keyed-alike locking options

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.

Do you cover Urmston?

Can counter shutters be keyed alike?

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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Is the survey free?
