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

Most grille lock replacements in Shrewsbury cost £150 to £354 including VAT (£125 to £295 plus VAT) per lock fitted. Upgrades such as quick-release or restricted-key cylinders are priced before work goes ahead.

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

  • Padlock hasp conversions
  • Lock work on most grille makes
  • Additional shoot bolts top and bottom
  • Quick-release conversions for escape windows
  • Keyed-alike and master-key suites
  • Upgrades to higher-security cylinders

Visits in Shrewsbury and nearby

Visits in Shrewsbury (SY1) are booked around engineer availability. We also cover nearby Wellington (10 miles), Telford (13 miles) and Oswestry (16 miles).

Shropshire mixes Telford's modern estates and business units with timber-framed and listed centres in Shrewsbury and Ludlow.

This work suits:

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

Before the visit

Keyed alike

One key for all grilles is convenient for homes and small shops.

Key control

Restricted key systems limit who can have copies cut.

What the rules say in England

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.

Grille lock replacement and upgrades in Shrewsbury: questions

Which areas near Shrewsbury do you cover?

Yes. As well as Shrewsbury, we can arrange visits in nearby Wellington, Telford and Oswestry, and elsewhere in Shropshire.

Can a key-only grille be converted to quick release?

Often, yes, by fitting a lock with a keyless internal release. We check the grille first.

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.
