Before the visit
Make it safe first
After a break-in attempt, the first priority is making the opening secure.
Prevent repeats
Many faults come from dirt in the tracks; regular servicing helps.
What the rules say in Scotland
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671, with some work needing a building warrant in Scotland. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.
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.
