How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
Locks can be fitted at the bottom rail or into the counter, and keyed alike with other shutters. Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior.
Options we can specify
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Manual or electric operation
- Slim laths and compact box

Rules in Scotland
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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Stornoway?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair counter & hatch shutters in Stornoway and the HS1 district, as part of our coverage across Highlands & Islands.
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.
Can counter shutters be keyed alike?
Yes, the locks can be keyed alike so one key opens several shutters.
Can a bar shutter look like wood?
Yes. Timber-effect and powder-coated finishes are available so the shutter suits the bar.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
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.
