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 you can specify
- Matched to insurer or specifier requirements
- Installed to the manufacturer's tested specification
- Suits pharmacies, cash offices, plant rooms and high-value stock
- Retractable, roller and hinged formats depending on manufacturer
- Galvanised and powder-coated finishes
- Products certified by LPCB to LPS 1175 (Issue 8 letter-number ratings or legacy SR ratings)

What to think about first
Which rating you need
Start from your insurer's or specifier's requirement rather than choosing the highest number.
Certified product, not certified installer
The certificate covers the manufacturer's tested product. Check the certificate reference against the LPCB's listing.

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.
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.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Finchley: questions
Do you cover Muswell Hill as well as Finchley?
Yes. As well as Finchley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Muswell Hill, Cricklewood and Kilburn, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
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.
Does my insurer need LPS 1175?
Only your insurer can say. Send us their wording and we will quote products that match it.
