Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking

Is it an escape window?

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

Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.

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.

Which areas near Kettering do you cover?

We can arrange work in Kettering and in nearby Wellingborough (7 miles), Corby (7 miles) and Rushden (9 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 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.

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.
