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.

What you can specify

Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil

Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
Convenience stores and off-licences

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.

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.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Shopfront security grilles in Stevenage: questions

Do you cover Hitchin as well as Stevenage?

Yes. As well as Stevenage, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City, and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.

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 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.
