Security grilles in Greater Manchester
If an exit is affected, staff at premises in the North West need a clear opening routine, and we build that into your Greater Manchester grille design.

A grille keeps your Greater Manchester window display in view after closing, which suits owners who want passers-by to see the stock at night. We look at what sits behind the glass at your Greater Manchester shop, because a folding grille needs room to stack and lock.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury.
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.
