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

Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
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 Lichfield: questions
Can you survey in Lichfield and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Lichfield, Burntwood, Tamworth and elsewhere in Staffordshire are booked around 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.
