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.
What you can specify
- Provision for access control hardware on hinged doors
- Wide openings across corridors and aisles
- Retractable, hinged and bi-fold grille doors
- Galvanised or powder-coated finishes
- Lock boxes with cylinders on a master-key suite
- Mesh infill to stop items being passed through

- Cash offices and safes rooms
- Stockrooms and goods-in
- Drug stores and dispensaries
- Corridors to back-office areas
What to think about first
Access control
Hinged grille doors can take electric locks or readers, wired by a suitable contractor.
Partition strength
A grille is only as strong as what it is fixed to; stud walls may need reinforcement.
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 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 Ipswich: questions
Which areas near Ipswich do you cover?
We can arrange work in Ipswich and in nearby Harwich (10 miles), Felixstowe (11 miles) and Stowmarket (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you add mesh to stop things being passed through?
Yes. Mesh infill is common on stockroom and dispensary grilles.
Can an internal grille go across a corridor?
Yes, but if the corridor is an escape route the grille must be open whenever people are in the building.
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.
