What to know about counter & hatch shutters in Hemel Hempstead
Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection. Reception desks and ticket offices use them to secure the counter when staff are away.
Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters.
Options we can specify
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Manual or electric operation
- Face or reveal fixing

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.
