Edinburgh's Old and New Towns are a World Heritage Site full of listed tenements and shops, surrounded by suburbs and the Lothians' towns.

  • Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
  • Lost or stolen keys
  • New occupants with unknown key holders
  • Worn, stiff or seized locks

Getting the best result

Keyed alike

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

Like for like or upgrade

If the grille is sound, a better cylinder is a cheap upgrade.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

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.

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 Edinburgh: questions

Can you visit addresses near Edinburgh?

Yes. As well as Edinburgh, we can arrange visits in nearby Musselburgh, Dalkeith and Penicuik, and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

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.

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.
