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.

Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil

County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Jewellers and phone shops
Pharmacies and opticians
Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
Convenience stores and off-licences

Things to decide before you order

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.

Rules that apply in England

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.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Shopfront security grilles in Consett: questions

Which areas near Consett do you cover?

We can arrange work in Consett and in nearby Stanley (5 miles), Chester-le-Street (10 miles) and Durham (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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 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.
