What goes into a hatch grille
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Manual operation for small openings
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Neat integration with countertops
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Retractable options where there is side space

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.
