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.
Choices you can make
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- White, black or anthracite to match frames

- Flats with windows on walkways or balconies
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Patio, French and kitchen doors
- Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor
What to think about first
Look
Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
Which openings first
Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.
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.
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.

Home security grilles in Hythe: questions
Can you survey in Hythe and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hythe, Southampton, Totton and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.
Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?
Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
Are grilles safe if there is a fire?
Yes, provided any window needed for escape has a grille with a keyless internal release. We will not fit a key-only grille over an escape window.
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.
