What is the price of grille lock replacement in Stanley?

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Stanley typically costs £150 to £354 including VAT (£125 to £295 plus VAT) per lock, supplied and fitted, depending on the lock type. The price is confirmed before work starts.

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.

What is included

  • Complete lock box replacement
  • Padlock hasp conversions
  • Additional shoot bolts top and bottom
  • Keyed-alike and master-key suites
  • Upgrades to higher-security cylinders
  • Quick-release conversions for escape windows

Visits in Stanley and nearby

Stanley is about 8 miles from Durham, the main centre for Durham. We can arrange visits across the DH9 district and in nearby places such as Chester-le-Street and Consett.

County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.

This work suits:

  • Lost or stolen keys
  • Worn, stiff or seized locks
  • Sites wanting one key for every grille
  • New occupants with unknown key holders

Before the visit

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.

Planning and safety in England

England

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

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.
