What to know about retractable security grilles in Montrose
Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.
Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Features to choose from
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Internal or external fitting
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- No shutter box needed

Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover Montrose?
Yes. Montrose (DD10) is within our Dundee & Angus coverage, along with nearby Arbroath and Forfar.
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.
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.
Do grilles get in the way during the day?
Retractable grilles fold neatly to the side of the opening. Removable grilles can be lifted out and stored.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
