Before the visit
Like for like or upgrade
If the grille is sound, a better cylinder is a cheap upgrade.
Keyed alike
One key for all grilles is convenient for homes and small shops.
What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Bedroom and escape windows
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Northern Ireland have fitness and safety duties under the Private Tenancies (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, as amended by the Private Tenancies Act (Northern Ireland) 2022. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Which towns in County Armagh 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.
