Security grille servicing is planned maintenance that keeps grilles running smoothly and locking properly. A service cleans the tracks, lubricates the pivots and runners, checks fixings and alignment, tests the lock and any release mechanism, and records anything that needs attention.
What we look at
- Roller grille spring, motor and safety device checks
- Annual or six-monthly plans for multiple grilles
- Quick-release escape mechanism test
- Check of fixings, alignment and stack
- Lock and key operation test

Things to think about

Escape releases
Grilles with quick-release mechanisms should be checked as part of every service.
What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 make the appropriate person 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.
Bedroom and escape windows
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Security grille servicing in Derry: questions
Do you cover Strabane as well as Derry?
Yes. As well as Derry, we can arrange visits in nearby Strabane, Limavady and Coleraine, and elsewhere in County Londonderry.
Can I lubricate my grille myself?
Yes, with a light dry lubricant on the pivots and runners, and by keeping the bottom track clear. Avoid heavy grease, which collects dirt.
How often should a grille be serviced?
Once a year for most grilles, and every six months for grilles used daily, fitted outside, or electrically operated.
Do I get a record of the service?
Yes. You receive a short written record of what was checked and anything that needs attention.
