How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for

Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters. Locks can be fitted at the bottom rail or into the counter, and keyed alike with other shutters.

Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals.

Features to choose from

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

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.

Before you book in Washington

Do you cover Washington?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair counter & hatch shutters in Washington and the NE37 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.

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 a bar shutter look like wood?

Yes. Timber-effect and powder-coated finishes are available so the shutter suits the bar.

Can counter shutters be keyed alike?

Yes, the locks can be keyed alike so one key opens several shutters.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
