Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Dundee: what will it cost?
Most grille lock replacements in Dundee 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.

Keyed alike

Like for like or upgrade
If the grille is sound, a better cylinder is a cheap upgrade.
What the rules say in Scotland
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.
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Dundee: questions
Which areas near Dundee do you cover?
Yes. As well as Dundee, we can arrange visits in nearby Cupar, St Andrews and Forfar, and elsewhere in Dundee and Angus.
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 you change a lock on a grille you did not fit?
Yes, on most makes, subject to compatible parts.
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.
