- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Light and ventilation through perforations

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
External grilles and planning
Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils. External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission, and councils generally prefer internal, see-through security in town centres.
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.
