Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Formby 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.

  • Complete lock box replacement
  • Padlock hasp conversions
  • Quick-release conversions for escape windows

Visits in Formby and nearby

Formby is about 11 miles from Liverpool, the main centre for Merseyside. We can arrange visits across the L37 district and in nearby places such as Maghull and Southport.

Merseyside has Liverpool's Georgian quarter and Victorian terraces, the Wirral's suburbs, and large high-street and dockside commercial areas.

Typical reasons to book:

  • Worn, stiff or seized locks
  • New occupants with unknown key holders
  • Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
  • Lost or stolen keys

Things to think about

Like for like or upgrade

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

Key control

Restricted key systems limit who can have copies cut.

Planning and safety 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.

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
