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

What to think about first
Release position
Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Consents and safety: 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 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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Chadderton: questions
Which areas near Chadderton do you cover?
We can arrange work in Chadderton and in nearby Oldham (1 mile), Royton (2 miles) and Middleton (2 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.
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.
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.
