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

Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours

Things to decide before you order

Internal or external

Internal grilles are generally preferred by councils and rarely need planning permission. External shutters or grilles normally need consent, especially in conservation areas.

Risk level

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

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

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.

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.

Shopfront security grilles in Dunoon: questions

Do you cover Greenock as well as Dunoon?

Yes. As well as Dunoon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Greenock, Helensburgh and Largs, and elsewhere in Argyll and Bute.

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.

Will my insurer accept a grille?

Some insurers specify grilles or shutters for certain stock or cash levels. Send us their wording and we will quote to it; the insurer decides whether a product meets their policy.

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.
