Window locks – Effective protection against break-ins & child safety
Windows are one of the biggest security vulnerabilities in apartments and houses—especially in ground floor apartments or easily accessible floors (e.g., via balconies, flat roofs, or climbing aids such as downspouts or carports). Burglars often use lever tools to break open unsecured windows in a matter of seconds. Window security devices offer reliable protection here!
Why window security devices are so important
Ground floor apartments and balconies are particularly at risk – windows and patio doors are often the first point of attack for burglars
Burglars can pry open unsecured windows in a matter of seconds – standard window fittings offer little resistance.
Children must be protected from falls and uncontrolled opening – especially on higher floors or with balcony doors.
Window locks still allow ventilation – even with a lockable window handle, tilting remains possible.
