Can I add extra locks to my window for more security?

Generally speaking you can add extra locks to most windows but it will depend on the frame material and type as to which fits your window the best.

I have a few vulnerable upvc windows and I'm going on holiday so what can I fit to improve security?

A lot of customers use Frameguards to fit to a pvc window as the long arm is visible as a deterrent as well as being difficult to jemmy open. They are also easy to operate when the window is in use. To fit these locks it is advisable to use them in conjunction with jack nut fixings to ensure the window locks are fitted adequately into the cavity of the frame. Of course you may also want to look at ensuring all of your window handles have locks in the first instance as these can be replaceable.
