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.

We can arrange work in Heanor and in nearby Ripley (2 miles), Ilkeston (4 miles) and Belper (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.

Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
