Home security grilles are made-to-measure grilles for the windows and doors of houses and flats, usually retractable and fitted inside the glass. Folded back during the day they are barely noticeable; drawn across at night or when you are away, they stop entry through broken glass.
What you can specify
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows

- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms

- Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor
What to think about first
Keys
Locks can be keyed alike so one key works every grille.
Look
Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

Home security grilles in Cricklewood: questions
Do you cover Kilburn as well as Cricklewood?
Yes. As well as Cricklewood, we can arrange surveys in nearby Kilburn, Willesden and Chalk Farm, and elsewhere in Greater London.
Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?
Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
Will grilles affect my home insurance?
Some insurers ask about security measures. Tell your insurer about any changes; they decide whether it affects your policy.
Do I need planning permission for grilles on my house?
Internal grilles usually do not need planning permission. External grilles, listed homes and homes in conservation areas may need consent, so we check first.
