The Highlands are one of the most sparsely populated parts of the UK, with Inverness as the main centre and many remote homes, holiday lets and small-town shops.
Common situations:
- New occupants with unknown key holders
- Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
- Sites wanting one key for every grille
- Worn, stiff or seized locks
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 Scotland
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.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

I have lost my grille key. What can I do?

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.
