Window locks are one of the most traditional security systems you can invest in.
They protect you from the elements as well as keep your belongings safe both when you’re home and away.
But how often should you change your window locks?
Today we’ll explore the reasons why and how often you should change your window locks in order to ensure sufficient protection.
Changing your window locks ensures they’re in working order at all times. Not only does this reduce your risk of being broken into, but it also reduces your insurance premiums, as you’re showing you’re doing what you can to make intrusions less likely.
Many new homeowners choose to change the window locks of their property to maximise security further. This means only you have a key to access it and have an understanding of the internal mechanism.
Like all parts of a home, window locks can be subject to general wear and tear- this could lead to rust and difficulty in use. This is a sign to refresh your window locks. If you have concerns but aren’t sure how to check for damage, contact a locksmith for a professional opinion.
Before purchasing a window lock, make sure you consider the size and type of your windows to ensure a secure fit.
Here at LockShop Direct, we have a wide range of window locks to choose from including:

The main priority of window locks is to keep you safe. However, it’s pointless having sturdy locks installed when the window itself is made from lightweight, flimsy materials.
If you’re replacing your window locks due to age and damage, look into replacing the surrounding frame too. Especially if your windows are wooden, they can become weak over time, making it an easy to intrude area.
