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
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
- 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

- Convenience stores and off-licences
- Pharmacies and opticians
- Jewellers and phone shops
- High-street shops and boutiques
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.
Consents and safety: 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.
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 Sleaford: questions
Do you cover Grantham as well as Sleaford?
Yes. As well as Sleaford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Grantham, Boston and Lincoln, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire.
Do I need planning permission for a shop grille?
An internal grille behind the glass does not usually need planning permission. External shutters and grilles normally do, and listed buildings need listed building consent for internal or external works that affect their character.
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 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.
