LPS 1175 certified security grilles are products that a manufacturer has had independently tested and certified by the Loss Prevention Certification Board against the LPS 1175 standard. The rating tells you which tools the grille resisted and for how long, which is what many insurers and specifiers ask for.

What to think about first
Cost and weight
Higher ratings mean heavier, more expensive grilles that need stronger fixing points.
Installation
A certified grille only performs as tested if it is fixed into a suitable structure as the manufacturer specifies.
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.
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.
How it works
- Postcode and a few photos
