When it comes to the safety and security of your home, your window security is just as important as the rest of the entry points of your property such doors and gates. There are a variety of different types of locks that you can use on your window to ensure the safety of your home.

Key Locking Window Restrictors

The key locking window restrictors are usually found on UPVC windows and some aluminium windows. This type of restrictor is fit between the window opener and the frame of your window and is fully concealed when the window is closed. It allows you to restrict how far the window can open and with the easy use of a key you are able to allow your window to open to its full extent. If you have used the key to fully open your window, when you next close the window it will automatically relock, meaning you will need to use the key again if you wish to open your window fully. This window lock variant also help to childproof your windows and prevent any accidental falling.

Vibration Alarm

Vibration alarms are a great burglar deterrent for all window types around your home. They are easy to fit and are placed onto the window with an adhesive label and you are able to adjust the sensitivity levels to ensure it only goes off in an attempted break in.

Window Stay Locks

Window stay locks are an effective way of keeping your windows locked and secure at night and while you are out. This lock works by the use of a pin stay which you can simply use to lock your window and you can also adjust how far open you leave your window open when locking it. Window stay locks are typically available in a variety of different finishes, ensuring you will be able to match it with the theme of your room.
