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

Most grille lock replacements in Maldon 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

  • Quick-release conversions for escape windows
  • Additional shoot bolts top and bottom
  • Lock work on most grille makes
  • Replacement cylinders and lock bodies
  • Upgrades to higher-security cylinders
  • Padlock hasp conversions

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

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Maldon: questions

Do you cover Witham as well as Maldon?

Yes. As well as Maldon, we can arrange visits in nearby Witham, Chelmsford and Rayleigh, and elsewhere in Essex.

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.

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.
