Visits in Greenwich and nearby
Greenwich is about 5 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can arrange visits across the SE10 district and in nearby places such as Blackheath and Canary Wharf.
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
Common situations:
- Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
- Lost or stolen keys
- Sites wanting one key for every grille
- Worn, stiff or seized locks
Getting the best result
Like for like or upgrade
If the grille is sound, a better cylinder is a cheap upgrade.
Escape windows
Convert key-only grilles on escape windows to a keyless internal release.
Planning and safety in 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.

Can all my grilles use the same key?

Can a key-only grille be converted to quick release?

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.
