Things to decide before you order
Keys and procedures
Decide who locks up and whether one key or a master suite suits the business.
Escape routes
Grilles across exits must be managed so they never obstruct escape while people are inside.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Can you meet our insurer's requirements?
Send us the insurer's wording and we will quote to it. The insurer decides whether a product meets the policy.
Do we need the landlord's permission?
If you lease the building, usually yes, because grilles are fixed to the structure.
Can grilles go across fire exits?
Only if they do not obstruct escape while the building is occupied. That usually means they are unlocked and parked open during working hours and locked only when the building is empty.
