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.

Fitting in Downpatrick and nearby
Downpatrick is about 23 miles from Bangor, the main centre for County Down. We can survey and fit across the BT30 district and in nearby places such as Comber and Newtownards.
County Down includes North Down's commuter towns such as Bangor and Holywood, Newry's border-town retail and rural market towns.
This type of grille suits:
- Jewellers and phone shops
- Convenience stores and off-licences
- High-street shops and boutiques
- Pharmacies and opticians
Questions we will ask at the survey
Where the stack parks
We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.
Lattice or roller
Retractable lattice suits most shop windows. An internal roller grille needs space for the coil above the window but leaves nothing at the sides.
Planning and safety 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.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Shopfront security grilles in Downpatrick: questions
Can you survey in Downpatrick and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Downpatrick, Comber, Newtownards and elsewhere in County Down are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
