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

Planning and safety in Scotland
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.
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 Wishaw: questions
Do you cover Motherwell as well as Wishaw?
Yes. As well as Wishaw, we can arrange surveys in nearby Motherwell, Hamilton and Airdrie, and elsewhere in Lanarkshire.
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 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.
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.
