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
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
- Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged

Things to decide before you order
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.
Risk level
Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.
Rules that apply in England
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.
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.

Shopfront security grilles in Thornaby-on-Tees: questions
Which areas near Thornaby-on-Tees do you cover?
We can arrange work in Thornaby-on-Tees and in nearby Stockton-on-Tees (3 miles), Billingham (4 miles) and Middlesbrough (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
