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.
Specification at a glance
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
- Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil

- High-street shops and boutiques
What to think about first
Risk level
Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.
Where the stack parks
We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.
Consents and safety: England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Shopfront security grilles in Newbury: questions
Do you cover Thatcham as well as Newbury?
Yes. As well as Newbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Thatcham, Basingstoke and Didcot, and elsewhere in Berkshire.
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.
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 the grille cover the shop door too?
Yes. The door is covered by its own leaf, by a separate gate, or by including it in the main grille run.
