How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.
What's included
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- No shutter box needed
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Rated products available on request
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn

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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover Grays?
Yes. Grays (RM17) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby South Ockendon, Gravesend and Dartford.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
