Internal security grilles divide a building into zones. Fitted across corridors, stockroom doors, cash offices and server rooms, they keep valuable areas locked off from the rest of the building after hours, or from visitors and staff who do not need access during the day.

Getting the right internal grille for your building
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.
What the rules say in 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 across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Internal security grilles in Dover: questions
Which areas near Dover do you cover?
We can arrange work in Dover and in nearby Folkestone (7 miles), Deal (8 miles) and Canterbury (15 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.
Do internal grilles need planning permission?
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.
