Visits in Hereford and nearby

We arrange grille lock replacement visits across Hereford and the HR1 postcode district, and in nearby Ross-on-Wye (11 miles), Leominster (12 miles) and Malvern.

Herefordshire is largely rural, with black-and-white timber-framed buildings, stone farmhouses and small market-town high streets such as Hereford and Leominster.

Common situations:

Worn, stiff or seized locks
Lost or stolen keys
Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
Sites wanting one key for every grille

Getting the best result

Keyed alike

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

Like for like or upgrade

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

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

Grilles across exits in business premises

In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Hereford: questions

Can you visit addresses near Hereford?

Yes. As well as Hereford, we can arrange visits in nearby Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Malvern, and elsewhere in Herefordshire.

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.

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.

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.
