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.

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.
Cost and weight
Higher ratings mean heavier, more expensive grilles that need stronger fixing points.
What the rules say in Scotland
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.
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.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in St Andrews: questions
Which areas near St Andrews do you cover?
We can arrange work in St Andrews and in nearby Cupar (8 miles), Dundee (11 miles) and Leven (13 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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 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.
