  • Upgrades to higher-security cylinders
  • Padlock hasp conversions

Keyed alike

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

Planning and safety in England

England

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.

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.

How it works

  1. Send a photo of the lock
  2. Choose like-for-like or upgrade
  3. Fitting and testing
  4. Keys and handover
