How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection.
Specification options
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Manual or electric operation
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Slim laths and compact box

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.

Questions about counter & hatch shutters in Chorley
Do you cover Chorley?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chorley. We also cover nearby Leyland, Darwen and Wigan.
Are counter shutters manual?
Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.
Can counter shutters be keyed alike?
Yes, the locks can be keyed alike so one key opens several shutters.
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 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.
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.
