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
Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty

Back doors, French doors and patio doors
Ground-floor windows of homes and flats
Stockrooms and cash offices
Shop windows and glazed shop entrances

What to think about first

Security level

Domestic grilles suit most homes. Shops, pharmacies and high-value stock may justify heavier sections or a third-party certified product.

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.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

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 Lincoln: questions

Do you cover Gainsborough as well as Lincoln?

Yes. As well as Lincoln, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent and Sleaford, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire.

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.

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.

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.
