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 so it should not be reachable from outside
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- White, black or anthracite finishes

Things to decide before you order
Children
Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.
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
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.
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 Annan: questions
Which areas near Annan do you cover?
We can arrange work in Annan and in nearby Lockerbie (10 miles), Dumfries (15 miles) and Castle Douglas (27 miles). Dates depend on 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.
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.
