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.
Choices you can make
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Manual operation for small openings
- Neat integration with countertops
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Bottom-rail or side locks

What to think about first
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Daily use
Choose a light action if staff open and close it several times a day.
Consents and safety: 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.

Counter and hatch grilles in Annan: questions
Can you survey in Annan and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Annan, Lockerbie, Dumfries and elsewhere in Dumfries and Galloway are booked around installer availability.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
Are these grilles suitable for food areas?
Aluminium and stainless finishes are easy to clean and suit serveries.
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.
