Window Locks Explained

Window Locks Explained

Similarly to doors, windows are a key feature of a home's exterior. They bring the outside in while keeping you protected (and warm). 

Sadly, they are a go-to break-in point for criminals. However, due to noise and damage, breaking the glass to gain entry is often a last resort. 

Burglars tend to try breaking the locks first, to ensure a quiet entry with minimal evidence left behind. 

This is why you should take the time to research and invest in high-quality window locks - they are guaranteed to keep you and your possessions as safe as possible. 

Here’s everything you need to know about window locks.

Window locks add an extra layer of safety when you’re asleep or out of the house. 

When you have them installed, they act as a deterrent for burglars - if they see you have them in place, they’re less likely to break in, as it suggests you have supporting security measures installed too.
