A counter or hatch grille is a small roller or retractable grille that closes off a serving hatch, kiosk window, bar or reception counter. It secures the opening between the public side and the stock or till behind, while staying compact enough for tight spaces.
What goes into a hatch grille
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Neat integration with countertops
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas

What to think about first
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Consents and safety: England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Counter and hatch grilles in Bletchley: questions
Can you survey in Bletchley and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire are booked around installer availability.
Will the grille fit under our ceiling?
Compact roller grilles need only a small box. If there is no head space, a retractable grille that folds to the side works instead.
Are these grilles suitable for food areas?
Aluminium and stainless finishes are easy to clean and suit serveries.
Can a hatch grille be fire rated?
A standard security grille is not fire rated. If the hatch needs fire separation, a fire-rated shutter is required instead.
