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
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking

Things to decide before you order
Release position
Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.
Children
Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.
Rules that apply 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 Perth: questions
Do you cover Blairgowrie as well as Perth?
Yes. As well as Perth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Blairgowrie, Crieff and Cupar, and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross.
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.
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.
