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.
Choices you can make
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Neat integration with countertops
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Manual operation for small openings
- Retractable options where there is side space

Getting the right hatch grille for your building
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.
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 Rawtenstall: questions
Do you cover Accrington as well as Rawtenstall?
Yes. As well as Rawtenstall, we can arrange surveys in nearby Accrington, Bury and Burnley, and elsewhere in Lancashire.
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.
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.
