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.
Choices you can make
- Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
- Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
- White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
- Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty
- Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
- Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points

- Shop windows and glazed shop entrances
- Stockrooms and cash offices
- Ground-floor windows of homes and flats
- Back doors, French doors and patio doors
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.

Retractable security grilles in Hayes: questions
Do you cover Southall as well as Hayes?
Yes. As well as Hayes, we can arrange surveys in nearby Southall, Heston and Greenford, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
Do retractable grilles need a bottom track?
Most do, because the bottom track stops the grille being pushed out of line. On doorways a low or recessed track can be used to reduce the trip hazard, and some top-hung designs work without one on smaller openings.
