Security grilles in Dorset
A grille keeps your Dorset window display in view after closing, which suits owners who want passers-by to see the stock at night.
If an exit is affected, staff at premises in the South West need a clear opening routine, and we build that into your Dorset grille design. We look at what sits behind the glass at your Dorset shop, because a folding grille needs room to stack and lock.

Budget £795 to £1,995 ex VAT per opening. Daily use matters, so staff in Dorset and across the South West are shown how to open, stack and lock the grille before we leave. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.
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.
Do I need planning permission for security grilles?
Internal grilles usually do not need planning permission in England, but external ones often do if they change the look of the building. Listed buildings can need consent for either type. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we confirm this before ordering.
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.
