Choices you can make
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Low-profile floor track
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames

What to think about first
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
