Security grilles in County Durham
Daily use matters, so staff in County Durham and across the North East are shown how to open, stack and lock the grille before we leave.

If an exit is affected, staff at premises in the North East need a clear opening routine, and we build that into your County Durham grille design. Owners across the North East with more than one opening can have every grille priced together, including any at your County Durham branch.

Common questions
Do you cover all of County Durham?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.
Will a grille damage my shopfront frame?
Not if it is fixed properly. Side tracks need a sound substrate, so we fix into masonry or add a steel subframe and do not rely on thin aluminium sections. On listed buildings, fixing positions must be planned carefully, and consent may be required.
Can I fit a grille over a fire exit?
Only if it is fully open or unlocked while anyone is inside. An emergency exit cannot be locked in a way that stops people getting out. Your fire risk assessment must cover this, and a lockable grille needs a clear daily routine with a named person responsible.
Is a grille as secure as a roller shutter?
It depends on the product and the risk. A solid external shutter covers the glass, while an internal grille sits behind it and leaves the pane open to damage. A well-made grille still blocks access to stock. For tested performance, look for LPS 1175 rated products.
