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.
Options for retractable security grilles in Weston-super-Mare
- 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
- White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
- Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed
- Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
- Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty

Getting the right retractable grille for your building
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.
Security level
Domestic grilles suit most homes. Shops, pharmacies and high-value stock may justify heavier sections or a third-party certified product.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Weston-super-Mare: questions
Which areas near Weston-super-Mare do you cover?
We can arrange work in Weston-super-Mare and in nearby Burnham-on-Sea (7 miles), Clevedon (8 miles) and Nailsea (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
