A roller security grille is a curtain of linked aluminium or steel tubes that coils into a box above the opening. Lowered, it gives an open-mesh barrier you can see through; raised, it leaves the full width clear with nothing parked at the sides.
Choices you can make
- Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal
- Suitable for shopping centre units, counters and wide internal openings
- Manual spring-balanced, crank or electric operation
- Coil box above the opening, internal or external
- Mill, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Pass doors or wicket gates on request for some wide openings

What to think about first
Manual or electric
Small grilles work well by hand. Anything large, high or used several times a day is easier and safer with a motor.
Head space
The coil box needs height above the opening. If there is no room inside, a retractable grille is usually a better fit.
Consents and safety: England
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671. In homes, some electrical work is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.
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.

Roller security grilles in Becontree: questions
Can you survey in Becontree and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Becontree, Dagenham, Barking and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.
What happens to an electric grille in a power cut?
Powered grilles have a manual override, usually a crank or chain, so they can be raised or lowered without power.
Do roller grilles need planning permission?
Internal roller grilles generally do not. External ones normally do, and councils often prefer open-mesh grilles to solid shutters where something external is allowed.
Can a roller grille be fitted inside a shop window?
Yes, where there is enough clear height above the window for the coil and guides. It is a neat option because nothing is left at the sides.
