Based at 9 Queens Road, Camberley, we’re a family-run locksmith with over 22 years’ experience in security installation. We hold Surrey Trading Standards approval, are fully DBS-checked, and maintain strong ratings on both Google and Checkatrade. Every grille we supply is CE-marked, tested to recognised security standards, and accepted by major insurance underwriters.
Types of Security Grilles We Install
Retractable Security Grilles
Our most popular product for retail and hospitality premises. Retractable lattice grilles run along a precision top track and fold into a compact stack, typically just 150mm wide, on one side of the opening. When your business is open, the grille is virtually invisible. When you close up, it extends to form a tested, insurance-approved barrier across your shopfront, door, or window. We fit retractable grilles both internally and externally, depending on your preference and any conservation area or planning considerations.
Fixed Security Grilles
A permanent steel barrier mounted across a window or opening. Fixed grilles are the most cost-effective option and require no moving parts, making them low-maintenance and extremely durable. They’re well suited to ground-floor and basement windows, side elevations, utility rooms, and any opening where the grille can remain in place permanently. We powder-coat all fixed grilles to match your frames or painted surfaces, keeping the appearance discreet.
Collapsible Security Gates
Concertina-style gates designed for wider openings such as loading bays, patio doors, bifold doors, and commercial entrances. Collapsible gates fold fully clear during the day and lock across the opening at night using a multi-point locking mechanism. They’re particularly popular for industrial units, warehouses, and mixed-use premises where flexible access during working hours is essential.
Mesh Security Grilles
Heavy-duty mesh panels designed for maximum impact resistance. These are typically used in commercial and industrial environments, trading estates, warehouses, and utility buildings, where aesthetics are secondary to raw physical protection. Mesh grilles can be fixed or hinged for access.
Where We Fit Security Grilles
Our security grilles can be fitted to virtually any opening: windows (including sash, casement, and UPVC), standard doors, shopfronts, patio and bifold doors, French doors, loading bays, service corridors, and car park entrances. We fit grilles internally or externally, and on both ground-floor and upper-floor openings where access risk exists.
If you’re unsure which type suits your property, our free site survey will assess every vulnerable opening and recommend the most appropriate solution. We also offer full security surveys that go beyond grilles to review your complete security setup, including door locks, window locks, CCTV, and access control.
Installation Process of Security Grilles
The installation of security grilles is a critical step that requires professional expertise to ensure optimal performance and compliance with safety standards. Our skilled technicians assess the premises to determine the best type and placement of grilles, ensuring maximum security.
During installation, we adhere to all relevant regulations and guidelines, guaranteeing that the grilles not only meet safety requirements but also function effectively. Our team provides thorough post-installation support to address any questions or adjustments needed to ensure customer satisfaction.
Security Grille Maintenance
Security grilles are designed to be low-maintenance, but periodic attention keeps them operating smoothly and extends their working life. For retractable and collapsible grilles, we recommend lubricating the track and pivot points every six months and clearing any debris from the guide channel. Fixed grilles should be inspected annually for signs of corrosion, loose fixings, or damage.
We offer scheduled maintenance visits for commercial clients with multiple grilled openings, as well as one-off repair callouts if a grille is damaged or malfunctioning. If your grille has been forced during a break-in, our burglary repair and emergency boarding up services are available 24/7 to secure the property immediately.
