How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. 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.

Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. 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
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Rated products available on request
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • No shutter box needed

Covering Hertfordshire

We cover Hertfordshire from Watford to Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and St Albans, with 18 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

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 work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
