How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for

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. Reception desks and ticket offices use them to secure the counter when staff are away.

Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space. Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas.

What's included

  • Face or reveal fixing
  • Slim laths and compact box
  • Bottom-rail or counter locks
  • Keyed-alike locking options
  • Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
  • Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Can counter shutters be keyed alike?

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

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
