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.
Choices you can make
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- No key or tool needed to open from inside

Release position
Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.
Planning and safety in Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Irvine: questions
Can you survey in Irvine and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Irvine, Saltcoats, Troon and elsewhere in Ayrshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
How does a quick-release grille work?
A lever or push release on the inside of the lock box unlatches the grille so it can be slid open in one movement, with no key needed.
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.
