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.

Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
Release positioned at a sensible height
Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening

What to think about first

Release position

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

Is it an escape window?

If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.

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.

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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Corby: questions

Do you cover Uppingham as well as Corby?

Yes. As well as Corby, we can arrange surveys in nearby Uppingham, Kettering and Market Harborough, and elsewhere in Northamptonshire.

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.

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.
