What to think about first
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
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 St Andrews: questions
Can you survey in St Andrews and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in St Andrews, Cupar, Dundee and elsewhere in Fife are booked around installer availability.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
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.
