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

What to think about first
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Is it an escape window?
If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
Consents and safety: England
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.
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Goole: questions
Do you cover Selby as well as Goole?
Yes. As well as Goole, we can arrange surveys in nearby Selby, Scunthorpe and Doncaster, and elsewhere in East Riding of Yorkshire.
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.
