What the rules say in 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.
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.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Leven: questions
Can you visit addresses near Leven?
Yes. As well as Leven, we can arrange visits in nearby Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy and Cupar, and elsewhere in Fife.
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.

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.
