How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals. Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection.
Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas. Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters.
Specification options
- Slim laths and compact box
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Face or reveal fixing
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Bottom-rail or counter locks

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Watford?
Yes. Watford (WD17) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Bushey, Rickmansworth and Borehamwood.
Can counter shutters be keyed alike?
Yes, the locks can be keyed alike so one key opens several shutters.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
