A retractable security grille is a steel or aluminium lattice of vertical bars joined by scissor links that runs in a top and bottom track. Drawn across a window or door it forms a locked barrier; slid back, it folds into a narrow stack at the side so the opening is fully usable.

What you can specify

Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed
Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points
Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.

This type of grille suits:

Office receptions and glazed partitions
Back doors, French doors and patio doors
Stockrooms and cash offices
Shop windows and glazed shop entrances

Questions we will ask at the survey

Which side it folds to

The stack needs a clear wall or reveal to park against. We check curtains, handles, radiators and light switches before the grille is ordered.

Bottom track or no bottom track

A bottom track gives the most rigid grille but can be a trip point across a doorway. Low-profile and removable floor tracks are available for doors.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

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.

Retractable security grilles in Greenford: questions

Which areas near Greenford do you cover?

We can arrange work in Greenford and in nearby Northolt (1 mile), Southall (2 miles) and Wembley (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can a retractable grille be fitted inside the window?

Yes, and that is how most are fitted. The tracks fix into the window reveal or to a timber or steel subframe, so the grille sits between the glass and the room.

How long does a retractable grille take to fit?

Most single windows or doors are fitted in an hour or two once the made-to-measure grille arrives. A shopfront or several openings may take a day.

Will a grille stop me opening my windows?

No. An internal grille sits inside the reveal, so you can open the window as normal when the grille is folded back, and usually with it closed if there is enough depth between grille and glass.
