Counter & hatch shutters in Preston: the essentials
Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals. Reception desks and ticket offices use them to secure the counter when staff are away.
Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters. Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas.
Features to choose from
- Manual or electric operation
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Slim laths and compact box

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.

Counter & hatch shutters: common questions
Do you cover Preston?
Yes. Preston (PR1) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Leyland, Chorley and Blackburn.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
