Towns in Dumfries and Galloway

Getting the best result

Keyed alike

One key for all grilles is convenient for homes and small shops.

Escape windows

Convert key-only grilles on escape windows to a keyless internal release.

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

Bedroom and escape windows

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). 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 across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Dumfries and Galloway: questions

Which towns in Dumfries and Galloway do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Dumfries and Galloway, including Dumfries, Annan, Castle Douglas, Lockerbie and Stranraer.

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.

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.
