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

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Sandown typically costs £150 to £354 including VAT (£125 to £295 plus VAT) per lock, supplied and fitted, depending on the lock type. The price is confirmed before work starts.

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

  • Additional shoot bolts top and bottom
  • Keyed-alike and master-key suites
  • Lock work on most grille makes
  • Quick-release conversions for escape windows
  • Replacement cylinders and lock bodies
  • Complete lock box replacement

Visits in Sandown and nearby

Visits in Sandown (PO36) are booked around engineer availability. We also cover nearby Ryde (5 miles), Newport (7 miles) and Cowes (10 miles).

The Isle of Wight's stock is mainly Victorian seaside terraces, villas and holiday properties, many of them used seasonally.

Typical reasons to book:

  • Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
  • Sites wanting one key for every grille
  • Lost or stolen keys
  • New occupants with unknown key holders

Things to think about

Escape windows

Convert key-only grilles on escape windows to a keyless internal release.

Key control

Restricted key systems limit who can have copies cut.

What the rules say 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 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.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Sandown: questions

Do you cover Ryde as well as Sandown?

Yes. As well as Sandown, we can arrange visits in nearby Ryde, Newport and Cowes, and elsewhere in Isle of Wight.

Can you change a lock on a grille you did not fit?

Yes, on most makes, subject to compatible parts.

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.
