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
- Lock boxes with cylinders on a master-key suite
- Retractable, hinged and bi-fold grille doors
- Mesh infill to stop items being passed through
- See-through barriers that keep CCTV coverage
- Galvanised or powder-coated finishes
- Wide openings across corridors and aisles

What to think about first
Access control
Hinged grille doors can take electric locks or readers, wired by a suitable contractor.
Escape routes
Grilles across corridors that are escape routes need careful management and should be shown in your fire risk assessment.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.
