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

Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
No key or tool needed to open from inside
Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
Keyless internal lever or push-button release

What to think about first

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.

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.

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 Hanworth: questions

Which areas near Hanworth do you cover?

We can arrange work in Hanworth and in nearby Hampton (2 miles), Feltham (2 miles) and Sunbury-on-Thames (3 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.

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.

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.
