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

Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
White, black or anthracite finishes
Keyless internal lever or push-button release

Getting the right quick-release grille for your building

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.

What the rules say in England

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 Middlesbrough: questions

Which areas near Middlesbrough do you cover?

We can arrange work in Middlesbrough and in nearby Billingham (2 miles), Stockton-on-Tees (3 miles) and Thornaby-on-Tees (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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 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.
