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 goes into a shopfront grille

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

Jewellers and phone shops
Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
Pharmacies and opticians
Convenience stores and off-licences

Things to decide before you order

Internal or external

Internal grilles are generally preferred by councils and rarely need planning permission. External shutters or grilles normally need consent, especially in conservation areas.

Risk level

Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.

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.

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.

Shopfront security grilles in Ashington: questions

Do you cover Blyth as well as Ashington?

Yes. As well as Ashington, we can arrange surveys in nearby Blyth, Morpeth and Cramlington, and elsewhere in Northumberland.

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 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.

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.
