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 goes into a quick-release grille
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
- White, black or anthracite finishes
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release

Is it an escape window?
If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Planning and safety in Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Motherwell: questions
Can you survey in Motherwell and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Motherwell, Hamilton, Wishaw and elsewhere in Lanarkshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
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 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.
