Northumberland is largely rural, with stone-built market towns such as Hexham and Alnwick and terraced former mining towns in the south-east.
Common situations:
- Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
- Lost or stolen keys
- Sites wanting one key for every grille
- New occupants with unknown key holders
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 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.
