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 goes into a hatch grille
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Neat integration with countertops
- Manual operation for small openings
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes

Getting the right hatch grille for your building
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
Daily use
Choose a light action if staff open and close it several times a day.
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.
