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
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
