A removable security grille is a rigid steel panel that sits in locked brackets fixed to the window reveal. Unlocked, it lifts out entirely, leaving the window clear for cleaning, views or escape; locked in, it is as strong as a fixed grille.
Options for removable security grilles in Maidstone
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable

Kent ranges from Medway's Victorian terraces and Thanet's seaside towns to listed medieval centres such as Canterbury and Rochester.

- Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
- Temporary or seasonal security
- Windows needed for cleaning or access
- Offices empty at weekends
What to think about first
Locking
Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.
Where it is stored
Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.
Consents and safety: England
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.
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Removable security grilles in Maidstone: questions
Which areas near Maidstone do you cover?
We can arrange work in Maidstone and in nearby Chatham (8 miles), Rochester (8 miles) and Gillingham (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
What is the difference between removable and retractable grilles?
A retractable grille folds to the side but stays in place; a removable grille comes out completely. Retractable suits daily use, removable suits occasional use.
How heavy is a removable grille panel?
It depends on size and bar section. We aim to keep each panel light enough for one person to lift, splitting large windows into two panels.
Can I fit the panel myself after it is installed?
Yes. Once the brackets are fitted, lifting the panel in and locking it is a simple job.
