What is the price of grille lock replacement in Amersham?
Most grille lock replacements in Amersham cost £150 to £354 including VAT (£125 to £295 plus VAT) per lock fitted. Upgrades such as quick-release or restricted-key cylinders are priced before work goes ahead.
Grille lock replacement means fitting a new cylinder, lock body or complete lock box to an existing security grille. It is the quick fix for lost keys, worn or seized locks and moving into a property with unknown keys, and a chance to upgrade to a stronger or quick-release lock.

Visits in Amersham and nearby
Amersham is about 27 miles from Milton Keynes, the main centre for Buckinghamshire. We can arrange visits across the HP7 district and in nearby places such as Chesham and Chalfont St Peter.
Buckinghamshire combines Milton Keynes' modern estates and grid-road business units with older market towns such as Aylesbury, Amersham and High Wycombe.
Typical reasons to book:
- Sites wanting one key for every grille
- Worn, stiff or seized locks
- Lost or stolen keys
- Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
Things to think about
Keyed alike
One key for all grilles is convenient for homes and small shops.
Like for like or upgrade
If the grille is sound, a better cylinder is a cheap upgrade.
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 Amersham: questions
Do you cover Chesham as well as Amersham?
We can arrange work in Amersham and in nearby Chesham (2 miles), Chalfont St Peter (5 miles) and Gerrards Cross (6 miles). Dates depend on engineer availability.
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.
Can all my grilles use the same key?
Yes, by keying the new cylinders alike.
Can a key-only grille be converted to quick release?
Often, yes, by fitting a lock with a keyless internal release. We check the grille first.
