Visits in Christchurch and nearby
Christchurch is about 4 miles from Bournemouth, the main centre for Dorset. We can arrange visits across the BH23 district and in nearby places such as Bournemouth and New Milton.
Dorset combines large suburban areas around Bournemouth and Poole with stone-built market towns and conservation-area high streets such as Dorchester and Bridport.
Typical reasons to book:
- Lost or stolen keys
- New occupants with unknown key holders
- Worn, stiff or seized locks
- Sites wanting one key for every grille
Things to think about
Like for like or upgrade
If the grille is sound, a better cylinder is a cheap upgrade.
Escape windows
Convert key-only grilles on escape windows to a keyless internal release.
Planning and safety in 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.
