Thinking about investing in new window locks? Our team have put their brains together to make the decision a bit easier.
Windows may be handy for nosing at your neighbours and, of course, protecting you and your belongings from the elements. But they’re also a popular way for intruders to break in.
Many burglars have creative ways of breaking in that don’t cause damage to the window pane. What most people don’t know is, simply having an effective window lock can act as a deterrent, making you less vulnerable to break-ins.

How can a window lock protect you from burglaries?
Window locks act as an extra level of security when you’re out of the house or asleep. They come in a wide range of styles and finishes, made to fit different window types.
Many insurance companies ask for sufficient window locks before they can offer insurance coverage for theft. Having a visible lock installed means, if your property ist broken into, you will have full cover - saving you time and money.
Window locks can also act as a deterrent during attempted burglaries. Burglars tend to be quite lazy, so if they see you have window locks in place, they’re less likely to break in.
