Rules that apply in England

England

Grilles across exits in business premises

In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

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 Wakefield: questions

Which areas near Wakefield do you cover?

Yes. As well as Wakefield, we can arrange visits in nearby Ossett, Dewsbury and Morley, and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.

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 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.
