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 goes into a retractable grille
- White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
- Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
- Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
- Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty
- Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points
- Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed

Things to decide before you order
Security level
Domestic grilles suit most homes. Shops, pharmacies and high-value stock may justify heavier sections or a third-party certified product.
Inside or outside the glass
Inside is the norm: it is protected from weather, keeps the street view unchanged and usually avoids planning issues. Outside fitting suits recessed doorways and openings with no internal depth.
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.
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.

Retractable security grilles in Sutton-in-Ashfield: questions
Which areas near Sutton-in-Ashfield do you cover?
We can arrange work in Sutton-in-Ashfield and in nearby Mansfield (3 miles), Alfreton (5 miles) and Hucknall (7 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.
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.
