How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.
Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.
Specification options
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Internal or external fitting
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- 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.

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.

Retractable grilles fold neatly to the side of the opening. Removable grilles can be lifted out and stored.
