With over 18 year’s experience of fitting Security Grilles and Roller Shutters, we can provide expert advice on the best ways of securing your product.

When surveying for a Grille/Shutter bear in mind that what you are fitting the product into, as the product is only as secure as the fixings!!

We would always advise on fitting into Masonry and Recess Fix the product rather than Surface Fix as this gives a stronger fixing. We appreciate that this is not always possible and an alternative fixing is required. Please ring our technical team for further advice.

Décor Grille Security provides masonry fixings for all our Grilles and Shutters FREE OF CHARGE with every order. The FREE fixing pack includes the Screws, Wall Plugs, Masonry Drill Bit and Screwdriver Bit.

Security Screws are available but we don’t use them when fitting a grille or shutter internally. The problem with security screws are they are generally a lot more expensive and they are not all that secure as the majority of the security heads are readily available at your local DIY store. We tend to spoil the heads of the screws by either drilling them out or filling the heads with Araldite.

LPC Tested Security Grilles and Shutters have specific fixing methods. This includes the number of fixings, type and size of fixings subject to what the product is being fixed into. Also the fixings MUST be spoiled either by drilling out or filling the heads with Araldite. All these requirements must be followed to ensure the product can be certificated to LPC standards.
