SeceuroGuard 1000 Internal Doorway Grille

The SeceuroGuard 1000 Doorway Security Grille provides a high quality collapsible steel defence designed specifically for internal doorway and passageway installations across domestic and commercial properties. Available in custom built sizes up to 1800mm wide and 2500mm high, this system delivers effective access control while maintaining the premium functionality of the trusted SeceuroGuard range.

It is the perfect security solution for establishing distinct zones within a building. Whether you need to secure residential hallways, commercial corridors, office entrances, or retail back of house areas, this grille offers controllable security while retaining clear visibility and natural light.

Benefits for Internal Passageways

Installing a dedicated security grille inside your property provides several distinct advantages for internal zoning and daily access control:

• Establishes highly secure internal zones within homes or commercial premises without making spaces feel dark or permanently enclosed
• Perfect for safely restricting pets or young children to specific rooms while maintaining clear lines of sight and communication
• Allows air to circulate freely through internal corridors to help regulate indoor temperatures during warmer months
• Provides an immediate visual and physical barrier for retail or office environments to cleanly separate public spaces from private staff areas
• The space saving retractable design ensures the passageway remains completely unobstructed during standard daily use

Flexible Design Options

You can personalise your internal grille by selecting either the traditional 'X' lattice or the softer 'S' lattice design at the exact same price. Specifically designed to sit within the doorway aperture, this configuration is supplied exclusively in a single sash arrangement that stacks neatly to one side, ensuring you maximise your clear opening width for easy access.

This essentially maintenance free system comes in over 120 standard colours to coordinate effortlessly with your interior decor and existing hardware. Special custom colours are also available upon application. To find your perfect match, view the RAL Colour Chart PDF here.

Innovative Track Solutions

A standout feature of this internal doorway configuration is the highly practical lift up bottom track option. This innovative track hinges completely to one side to maximise walkthrough clearance when the grille is open. By ensuring the bottom track does not create a trip hazard, it becomes the ideal choice for high traffic doorways, busy family homes, and commercial environments with strict accessibility requirements.

Installation Guidance: SeceuroGuard 1000 Doorway Model

Installing the SeceuroGuard 1000 doorway security grille is a straightforward process for competent DIYers and tradespeople. With a maximum size of 1800mm wide by 2500mm high, the framework and sash are generally simple enough for a single person to handle, though a second pair of hands is always helpful for positioning. The smooth operation and ultimate security of the grille depend entirely on the framework being installed perfectly square, plumb, and level.

1. Pre-Installation Size Check

Before beginning, unpack the grille and verify the dimensions against your opening. The SeceuroGuard grille is always ordered with the Overall Width and Overall Height, which includes the entire surrounding framework and the bunched sash.

• Face Fit Installation: If fitting to the wall surface rather than inside the recess, ensure your sizes correctly account for the side posts and top track sitting flat against the wall surrounding the doorway.
• Reveal Fit (In-Between) Installation: Measure the internal doorway aperture—the grille framework is manufactured to fit exactly within this space.

2. Preparing the Doorway & Substrate

• Clear Obstructions: Clear the installation area of skirting boards, coving, or protruding door handles. Crucially, check that there is clearance for the sash to swing outwards on its hinges when fully stacked.
• Check Substrate: You must use the correct fixings for your specific wall type (e.g., heavy-duty masonry anchors for brick/concrete or appropriate fixings for structural timber). Note: Fixings are not typically supplied, as the required type depends entirely on your building material.
• Weak Substrates: Fixing into standard plasterboard or Thermalite block is not acceptable for security purposes. Weak substrates may require reinforcement.

3. Positioning and Fixing the Framework

• Assemble the Frame: At widths up to 1800mm, the track is supplied as a single, manageable piece. The top track and side posts should be offered up to the doorway together.
• Level and Plumb: Use a high-quality spirit level to ensure the top track is perfectly horizontal and the side posts are perfectly vertical (plumb).
• Use Shims for Uneven Walls: If your structural opening is uneven, use suitable packing shims behind the tracks. Do not bend the tracks to follow an uneven wall, as this will distort the frame and cause the sliding mechanism to jam.
• Secure the Fixings: Drill pilot holes and secure the framework. Fixings should generally be spaced no more than 400mm apart, ensuring there are strong fixing points close to the corners and directly behind the locking keep.

4. Track Setup, Sash Installation & Hinge-Aside

• Top Track & Carrier: Attach the sash carrier wheels to the top track and carefully guide the lattice sash into the system.
• Bottom Track Configuration:
  • Lift-Up Track: Install the pivoting mechanism on the stacking side, ensuring the track securely latches into the locking post side when lowered.
  • Low-Level 'T' Track: If specified, fix this securely directly into the floor/threshold. Ensure the floor is completely level so the sash runs smoothly.
• Hinge-Aside Check: Test the hinge-aside pins to ensure the stacked sash smoothly unlocks from the top and bottom guides and pivots out of the walkway.

5. Testing and Commissioning

• Clean the Tracks: Wipe the bottom track or floor guide completely clean of any brick dust, swarf, or debris created during drilling. This is the most common cause of rough or jammed operation.
• Slide Test: Slowly slide the grille curtain back and forth. It should run smoothly without catching or requiring excessive force.
• Lock Test: The multi-point lock should engage smoothly into the receiving post without needing to be forced. If the lock is stiff, double-check that your side posts are perfectly parallel.

How to Measure for SeceuroGuard Retractable Security Grilles

Accurate measuring is the most critical step when ordering your retractable security grille. We always recommend using a sturdy metal tape measure (rather than a cloth one) and taking your measurements in millimetres (mm) for the highest accuracy. Before you begin, check the surrounding area for any obstructions such as skirting boards, coving, or protruding window handles that might interfere with the tracks or the grille curtain.

1. The "Overall Size" Rule

Important: SeceuroGuard grilles are always ordered by their Overall Width and Overall Height. This means the dimensions you provide will be the exact physical size of the manufactured product, including the entire surrounding outer framework and tracks, not just the grille curtain itself.

2. Measuring for a Reveal Fit (Inside the Recess)

A reveal fit means the grille will sit inside the structural opening of your window or door.

• Take the width measurement at the top, middle, and bottom of the opening.
• Take the height measurement at the left, centre, and right.
• Always use the smallest measurement from these readings. Structural openings are rarely perfectly square.
• Deduct a fitting tolerance: You must allow room for installation and to ensure the frame doesn't get wedged tight. We recommend deducting approximately 5mm to 10mm from your smallest overall measurements to calculate your final ordering dimensions.

3. Measuring for a Face Fit (Outside the Recess) (This is not a usual position for collapsible grilles but does help on openings to provide as much clear space for a doorway or window when the grille is opened up)

A face fit means the grille will be installed onto the wall face (either inside or outside the building) overlapping the structural opening. Because it sits on the wall, your ordering dimensions will need to be larger than the opening itself. When calculating your face fit sizes, you must add the following to your opening dimensions:

• The top and bottom tracks: Ensure you have enough flat wall space above and below the opening to accommodate the track heights.
• The locking post: Allow width on the locking side.
• The Sash (Bunch) Size: When the grille is fully opened, the metal lattices bunch together at the side. This bunched sash takes up approximately 15% of the total order width. If you want the bunched grille to clear your window glass completely to allow full light, you must add this 15% to your structural width when calculating your total ordering width.

See our Comprehensive Guide to Measuring for Security Grilles >

Bunch (Sash) Sizes and Locking Options

Use the chart below to calculate exactly how much space the bunched sash will take up when the SeceuroGuard grille is fully open. This is particularly important for face-fitted grilles or doorways where maximum walk-through space is required.

Please Note - Locking Restrictions: The minimum grille height required to accommodate the upgraded 4-point locking system is 1000mm. If your ordered height is below 1000mm, the grille can only be manufactured with a standard 2-point locking system.
