Window Safety - The Practical Options

Leaving Windows Open? Now You Can Lock Them OPEN!

The summer time is when we all leave our windows and doors open for that little bit more extra fresh air but this can be a major security risk! We've come up with one or two products that can enhance the security and improve window safety giving you the chance to stay cooler during the day and night! Not forgetting how important it can be to improve the safety of the window when children are present to prevent accidental falling!

Key Locking Window Restrictors

Suitable for uPVC Windows

These fit between the window opener and the frame and are concealed when closed. Just insert the key to release the device for full window opening. When you close the window the device automatically re-engages so the next time you open the window it is locked again to the pre-set gap!
