Counter & hatch shutters in Northumberland: the essentials

Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals. 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.

Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas. Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters.

Specification options

  • Bottom-rail or counter locks
  • Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
  • Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
  • Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
  • Keyed-alike locking options
  • 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.

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.

Before you book in Northumberland

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.

Are counter shutters manual?

Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.

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.

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.
