Choosing counter & hatch shutters for premises in Skelmersdale

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.

Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals.

Specification options

  • Manual or electric operation
  • Bottom-rail or counter locks
  • Face or reveal fixing
  • Slim laths and compact box
  • Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
  • Easy-clean finishes for kitchens

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.

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Counter & hatch shutters: common questions

Do you cover Skelmersdale?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Skelmersdale. We also cover nearby Ormskirk, Wigan and Kirkby.

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.

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.
