What to think about first
Cost and weight
Higher ratings mean heavier, more expensive grilles that need stronger fixing points.
Which rating you need
Start from your insurer's or specifier's requirement rather than choosing the highest number.
Consents and safety: Scotland
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.
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 Inverness: questions
Can you survey in Inverness and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Inverness, Dingwall, Nairn and elsewhere in Highland are booked around 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.
Does my insurer need LPS 1175?
Only your insurer can say. Send us their wording and we will quote products that match it.
