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

Most grille lock replacements in Totton 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

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

Before the visit

Keyed alike

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

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 Totton: questions

Which areas near Totton do you cover?

Yes. As well as Totton, we can arrange visits in nearby Southampton, Hythe and Eastleigh, and elsewhere in Hampshire.

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.

Can all my grilles use the same key?

Yes, by keying the new cylinders alike.
