Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
