How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.

Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

What's included

  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Rated products available on request
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Carlisle

Do you cover Carlisle?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Carlisle and the CA1 district, as part of our coverage across Cumbria.

Do retractable grilles need planning permission?

Grilles fitted inside the glazing usually do not need planning permission, though listed buildings may need consent. External grilles are treated like other external security and often need permission.

Can a grille be fitted on a fire exit?

Only if it can be opened quickly from the inside without a key, and the fire risk assessment allows it. We check this before fitting.

Are grilles as secure as shutters?

A good grille with top and bottom tracks is a strong deterrent and hard to defeat quickly. For tested security, rated grilles are available.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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