- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features

Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
