What to think about first

Which rating you need

Start from your insurer's or specifier's requirement rather than choosing the highest number.

Cost and weight

Higher ratings mean heavier, more expensive grilles that need stronger fixing points.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

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.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Luton: questions

Can you survey in Luton and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Luton, Dunstable, Harpenden and elsewhere in Bedfordshire are booked around installer availability.

Can an existing grille be certified?

No. Certification applies to manufactured products that have been tested; an existing uncertified grille cannot be upgraded to a rating.

What do ratings like C5 or SR3 mean?

Under Issue 8 the letter is the threat level (the toolkit) and the number is the minutes of delay. SR1 to SR8 is the older scale; for example SR2 roughly corresponds to B3 and SR3 to C5.

What does LPS 1175 mean?

It is a security standard published by the Loss Prevention Certification Board. Products are attack-tested and certified to a rating showing the toolkit they resisted and for how long.
