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
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- White, black or anthracite finishes
- 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

What to think about first
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Is it an escape window?
If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
Consents and safety: England
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 Rugby: questions
Do you cover Daventry as well as Rugby?
Yes. As well as Rugby, we can arrange surveys in nearby Daventry, Coventry and Bedworth, and elsewhere in Warwickshire.
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.
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.
