Visits in Boston and nearby
Boston is about 27 miles from Lincoln, the main centre for Lincolnshire. We can arrange visits across the PE21 district and in nearby places such as Spalding and Sleaford.
Lincolnshire combines the historic hilltop core of Lincoln with Grimsby and Scunthorpe's industrial terraces and many small market and coastal towns.
Typical reasons to book:
- Lost or stolen keys
- Sites wanting one key for every grille
- New occupants with unknown key holders
- Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
Things to think about
Key control
Restricted key systems limit who can have copies cut.
Keyed alike
One key for all grilles is convenient for homes and small shops.
Planning and safety in 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.

- Send a photo of the lock

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Boston: questions
Do you cover Spalding as well as Boston?
We can arrange work in Boston and in nearby Spalding (14 miles), Sleaford (16 miles) and Skegness (19 miles). Dates depend on engineer availability.
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.
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 you change a lock on a grille you did not fit?
Yes, on most makes, subject to compatible parts.
