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.
What you can specify
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Neat integration with countertops
- Manual operation for small openings
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Retractable options where there is side space
Fitting in Enfield and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Enfield and across the EN1 postcode district, as well as in nearby Edmonton (2 miles) and Tottenham (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
Common openings for counter and hatch grilles:
- Ticket and reception counters
- School and canteen serveries
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Bars and kiosks
Getting the right hatch grille for your building
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.
What the rules say in 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.

Counter and hatch grilles in Enfield: questions
Do you cover Edmonton as well as Enfield?
Yes. As well as Enfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Edmonton, Tottenham and Wood Green, and elsewhere in Greater London.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
Can you fit it into an existing counter?
Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
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.
