A shopfront security grille is a wide retractable or roller grille fitted behind the shop window and entrance. It protects the glass line after closing while leaving the display visible, which is why many councils prefer it to a solid external shutter.

What you can specify

Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible

Fitting in Aberdeen and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Aberdeen and the AB10 postcode district, and in nearby Stonehaven (13 miles), Inverurie (14 miles) and Peterhead.

North-east Scotland is known for granite tenements and houses in Aberdeen, fishing towns along the coast and stone-built market towns inland.

Where shopfront security grilles are most often used:

Convenience stores and off-licences
High-street shops and boutiques
Jewellers and phone shops
Cafés, restaurants and takeaways

What to think about first

Where the stack parks

We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.

Risk level

Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Shopfront security grilles in Aberdeen: questions

Do you cover Stonehaven as well as Aberdeen?

Yes. As well as Aberdeen, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stonehaven, Inverurie and Peterhead, and elsewhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.

Can customers see into the shop with the grille closed?

Yes. An open lattice or open-mesh roller grille keeps the display visible, which helps window shopping after hours and natural surveillance of the street.

Do I need planning permission for a shop grille?

An internal grille behind the glass does not usually need planning permission. External shutters and grilles normally do, and listed buildings need listed building consent for internal or external works that affect their character.

Can you fit the grille without closing the shop?

Usually. Fitting is noisy for short spells while tracks are drilled, so we offer early-morning or after-closing slots where the installer's schedule allows.
