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

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Oakham 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

  • Quick-release conversions for escape windows
  • Keyed-alike and master-key suites
  • Padlock hasp conversions
  • Complete lock box replacement
  • Lock work on most grille makes
  • Upgrades to higher-security cylinders

Visits in Oakham and nearby

We arrange grille lock replacement visits across Oakham and the LE15 postcode district, and in nearby Uppingham (6 miles), Melton Mowbray (9 miles) and Stamford.

Rutland is England's smallest county, with stone-built market towns at Oakham and Uppingham and many listed and conservation-area buildings.

Typical reasons to book:

  • Lost or stolen keys
  • Sites wanting one key for every grille
  • Worn, stiff or seized locks
  • Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release

Things to think about

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.

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.
