What to know about counter & hatch shutters in Kent

Reception desks and ticket offices use them to secure the counter when staff are away. Locks can be fitted at the bottom rail or into the counter, and keyed alike with other shutters. Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space.

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.

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.

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.

Before you book in Kent

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
