Things to decide before you order
Daily use
Choose a light action if staff open and close it several times a day.
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Rules that apply in 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 Bodmin: questions
Which areas near Bodmin do you cover?
We can arrange work in Bodmin and in nearby St Austell (9 miles), Newquay (16 miles) and Truro (21 miles). Dates depend on 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.
Can you fit it into an existing counter?
Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
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.
