Consents and safety: England
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.
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Falmouth: questions
Which areas near Falmouth do you cover?

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.
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.
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.
