An escape window grille is a retractable grille with a release on the inside that opens it without a key or tool. It secures a window against entry from outside while keeping the window usable as an emergency escape route from inside, which bedroom and upstairs windows often need to be.

What goes into a quick-release grille

Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
White, black or anthracite finishes
Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
Release positioned at a sensible height
Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking

Things to decide before you order

Release position

Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.

Is it an escape window?

If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

Grilles in rented homes

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Bedroom and escape windows

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Ayr: questions

Can you survey in Ayr and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Ayr, Troon, Irvine and elsewhere in Ayrshire are booked around installer availability.

Could a burglar use the quick release?

It should not be possible from outside. The release is on the inside face and positioned so it is not reachable through the lattice from outside; we check this at fitting.

Can I have security grilles on bedroom windows?

Yes, as long as the grille opens from inside without a key or tool. That keeps the window usable as an escape route.

Do landlords need escape grilles?

Landlords must keep escape routes usable for tenants. A key-only grille over a bedroom escape window is a fire hazard, so a quick-release grille is the safer choice.
