How much should I budget for internal security grilles in Lerwick?

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.
Choices you can make

- See-through barriers that keep CCTV coverage
- Mesh infill to stop items being passed through

What to think about first
Escape routes
Grilles across corridors that are escape routes need careful management and should be shown in your fire risk assessment.
Visibility
Grilles keep areas visible to staff and cameras, unlike solid partitions.
Consents and safety: Scotland
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.
