How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. 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. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.
What's included
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Rated products available on request
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL

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
Do you cover Berkhamsted?
Yes. Berkhamsted (HP4) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Chesham, Hemel Hempstead and Amersham.
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 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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
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.
