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
Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Planning and safety in 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.

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; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.

Shopfront security grilles in Gillingham: questions

Do you cover Chatham as well as Gillingham?

Yes. As well as Gillingham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Chatham, Rochester and Strood, and elsewhere in Kent.

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.

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.
