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
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- 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

Things to decide before you order
Children
Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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 Gosport: questions
Can you survey in Gosport and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Gosport, Portsmouth, Fareham and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around 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.
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.
