Choosing counter & hatch shutters for premises in Harpenden
Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals.
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.
What's included
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Slim laths and compact box
- Bottom-rail or counter locks

Rules in England

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
Do you cover Harpenden?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair counter & hatch shutters in Harpenden and the AL5 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.
Can a bar shutter look like wood?
Yes. Timber-effect and powder-coated finishes are available so the shutter suits the bar.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
