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
- Safety edges, manual override and anti-drop devices on powered grilles
- Manual spring-balanced, crank or electric operation
- Mill, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel
- Coil box above the opening, internal or external
- Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal
Fitting in Fort William
We can arrange roller security grilles anywhere in Fort William (PH33). Dates depend on installer availability.
The Highlands are one of the most sparsely populated parts of the UK, with Inverness as the main centre and many remote homes, holiday lets and small-town shops.
Where roller security grilles are most often used:
- Shops with deep heads above the glazing
- Shopping centre and arcade units
- Counters and kiosks
- Wide internal openings and lobbies
What to think about first
Inside or outside
Inside a shopping centre or behind glazing the grille is protected. External roller grilles normally need planning permission.
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.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Roller security grilles in Fort William: questions
Do you cover Oban as well as Fort William?
Yes. As well as Fort William, we can arrange work in nearby Oban and elsewhere in Highland.
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.
Is a roller grille the same as a roller shutter?
No. A shutter uses solid or perforated slats; a grille uses an open mesh of tubes and links, so you can see through it and air can pass.
Do electric roller grilles need servicing?
Yes. Powered grilles should be inspected and maintained regularly, including the motor, safety devices and manual override, so they stay safe to use.
