Getting the right certified grille for your building
Which rating you need
Start from your insurer's or specifier's requirement rather than choosing the highest number.
Installation
A certified grille only performs as tested if it is fixed into a suitable structure as the manufacturer specifies.
What the rules say in Scotland
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Dumfries: questions
Do you cover Lockerbie as well as Dumfries?
Yes. As well as Dumfries, we can arrange surveys in nearby Lockerbie, Annan and Castle Douglas, and elsewhere in Dumfries and Galloway.
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.
