How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for
Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior. Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas.
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.
Options we can specify
- Manual or electric operation
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Slim laths and compact box
- Keyed-alike locking options
- 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.

Questions about counter & hatch shutters in Lancaster
Do you cover Lancaster?

Are counter shutters manual?
Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.
Can a bar shutter look like wood?
Yes. Timber-effect and powder-coated finishes are available so the shutter suits the bar.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
