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 scheduled outside trading hours where possible

Fitting in St Andrews and nearby
St Andrews is about 31 miles from Dunfermline, the main centre for Fife. We can survey and fit across the KY16 district and in nearby places such as Cupar and Dundee.
Fife combines Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy's town centres with historic St Andrews and the stone-built villages of the East Neuk.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- High-street shops and boutiques
- Jewellers and phone shops
- Convenience stores and off-licences
- Pharmacies and opticians
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 Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
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 St Andrews: questions
Which areas near St Andrews do you cover?
We can arrange work in St Andrews and in nearby Cupar (8 miles), Dundee (11 miles) and Leven (13 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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 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.
