Window Locks
Do Help to Deter House-Breakers.

The Benefits of Window Locks are often overlooked. An incredible 66% of house break-ins are through a window, usually via a back window often in a secluded situation.

Window locks are not expensive, readily available in DIY shops and can be applied to a wide range of different window types, such as sash windows, wooden casement or metal windows. Even small windows such as skylights or bathroom fanlights need locks.

Window security locks are very easy to fit and operate, most require a key but some lock automatically. Ideally you should fit window locks to all downstairs windows, including those that are easy to reach e.g. those above a flat roof or near a drainpipe.

Remember to keep windows locked and remove the keys and secure them out of sight.

If you live in a high-risk area, or your home contents include very valuable items, consider using window bars or grills.
