Fitting in Dorchester and nearby

Where home security grilles are most often used:

Patio, French and kitchen doors
Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor
Homes left empty while travelling

What to think about first

Keys

Locks can be keyed alike so one key works every grille.

Look

Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Home security grilles in Dorchester: questions

Which areas near Dorchester do you cover?

We can arrange work in Dorchester and in nearby Weymouth (7 miles), Bridport (14 miles) and Yeovil (18 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Do home security grilles look like prison bars?

Not when they are fitted inside the glass in a matching colour. Folded back, a grille is a slim stack at the side of the window.

Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?

Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.

Are grilles safe if there is a fire?

Yes, provided any window needed for escape has a grille with a keyless internal release. We will not fit a key-only grille over an escape window.
