Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
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.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Dartford: questions
Can you survey in Dartford and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Dartford, Bexley, Swanley and elsewhere in Kent 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.
