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.

Release positioned at a sensible height
Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
Keyless internal lever or push-button release
Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside

Things to decide before you order

Clear opening

The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.

Release position

Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

Bedroom and escape windows

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Grilles in rented homes

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Lanarkshire: questions

Which towns in Lanarkshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton, Cumbernauld, Coatbridge and Airdrie, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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 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.
