What to think about first

Visibility

Grilles keep areas visible to staff and cameras, unlike solid partitions.

Escape routes

Grilles across corridors that are escape routes need careful management and should be shown in your fire risk assessment.

Consents and safety: Scotland

Scotland

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering.

Internal security grilles in Aberdeen: questions

Which areas near Aberdeen do you cover?

We can arrange work in Aberdeen and in nearby Stonehaven (13 miles), Inverurie (14 miles) and Peterhead (27 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can internal grilles be fixed to stud walls?

Yes, with reinforcement such as a steel subframe or timber noggins, because a grille is only as strong as its fixings.

Generally not, though listed buildings may need consent for internal works.

Can grille doors take access control?

Hinged grille doors can be prepared for electric locks or readers, with the wiring done by a suitable installer.
