Visits in Newbury and nearby
Newbury is about 16 miles from Reading, the main centre for Berkshire. We can arrange visits across the RG14 district and in nearby places such as Thatcham and Basingstoke.
Berkshire mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Reading, commuter semis along the Thames Valley and modern business parks around Slough and Bracknell.
Typical reasons to book:
- Worn, stiff or seized locks
- Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
- Sites wanting one key for every grille
- Lost or stolen keys
Things to think about
Like for like or upgrade
If the grille is sound, a better cylinder is a cheap upgrade.
Key control
Restricted key systems limit who can have copies cut.
Planning and safety in England
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Newbury: questions
Do you cover Thatcham as well as Newbury?
We can arrange work in Newbury and in nearby Thatcham (3 miles), Basingstoke (14 miles) and Didcot (15 miles). Dates depend on engineer availability.
I have lost my grille key. What can I do?
We can open and replace the lock so you have new keys and know who holds them.
Can all my grilles use the same key?
Yes, by keying the new cylinders alike.
Is a better cylinder worth it?
On a grille that is otherwise sound, a higher-security cylinder is an inexpensive way to raise resistance to lock attack.
