Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Livingston: what will it cost?

Most grille lock replacements in Livingston 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.

What we look at

  • Padlock hasp conversions
  • Lock work on most grille makes
  • Keyed-alike and master-key suites
  • Replacement cylinders and lock bodies
  • Upgrades to higher-security cylinders
  • Additional shoot bolts top and bottom

Things to think about

Key control

Restricted key systems limit who can have copies cut.

Like for like or upgrade

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

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 Livingston: questions

Do you cover Bathgate as well as Livingston?

Yes. As well as Livingston, we can arrange visits in nearby Bathgate, Grangemouth and Dunfermline, and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

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 all my grilles use the same key?

Yes, by keying the new cylinders alike.

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.
