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.
Choices you can make
- Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
- Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
- Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil

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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
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 Castle Douglas: questions
Do you cover Dumfries as well as Castle Douglas?
Yes. As well as Castle Douglas, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dumfries, Lockerbie and Annan, and elsewhere in Dumfries and Galloway.
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.
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.
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.
