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
- Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed
- White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
- Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
- Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
- Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
- Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty

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
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.
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 Sutton Coldfield: questions
Do you cover Aldridge as well as Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. As well as Sutton Coldfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Aldridge, Birmingham and Tamworth, and elsewhere in West Midlands.
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.
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.
