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
- White, black or anthracite finishes
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- No key or tool needed to open from inside

Things to decide before you order
Is it an escape window?
If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
Release position
Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.
Rules that apply in England
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.
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Tewkesbury: questions
Which areas near Tewkesbury do you cover?
We can arrange work in Tewkesbury and in nearby Cheltenham (7 miles), Gloucester (9 miles) and Malvern (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
