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
- Manual operation for small openings
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Neat integration with countertops

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.
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
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 Wakefield: questions
Do you cover Ossett as well as Wakefield?
Yes. As well as Wakefield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ossett, Dewsbury and Morley, and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.
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.
