How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection. Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters.
Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior. Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals.
Specification options
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Slim laths and compact box
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Folkestone?
Yes. Folkestone (CT19) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Dover, Ashford (Kent) and Deal.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
