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.

- Release positioned at a sensible height
- Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- No key or tool needed to open from inside

If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
Planning and safety in Northern Ireland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, 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 Northern Ireland have fitness and safety duties under the Private Tenancies (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, as amended by the Private Tenancies Act (Northern Ireland) 2022. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Dungannon: questions
Which areas near Dungannon do you cover?
We can arrange work in Dungannon and in nearby Cookstown (10 miles), Armagh (12 miles) and Portadown (14 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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 lock a quick-release grille when I go away?
Some designs allow a key lock to be used as well, for when the house is empty. The release must always be usable when anyone is sleeping there.
