Choosing counter & hatch shutters for premises in St Albans
Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals. Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters.
Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection. Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals.
Specification options
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Manual or electric operation
- Face or reveal fixing

Rules in England
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.

Counter & hatch shutters: common questions
Do you cover St Albans?
Yes. St Albans (AL1) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Harpenden, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
