WINDOW LOCKS
At Brinnick Locksmiths & Security Limited, we stock a large range of window locks for wood, aluminium, steel, and uPVC windows from reputable brand names in the industry, such as Chubb, Yale, Era, Ingersoll, and Union. Many of the factory-fitted casement stays and fasteners on windows are designed to just keep the window closed, and these alone do not provide sufficient security to meet modern insurance requirements for many policyholders.
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR WINDOWS
The general advice given by both insurance companies and crime prevention officers is that all ground-floor or first-floor windows and patio doors that are accessible are fitted with key-operated window or patio door locks. If you are in any doubt about the security of your windows or patio doors, please do not hesitate to call Brinnick Locksmiths & Security Limited for free help and advice.
SLIDING PATIO DOORS
Sliding patio doors should be fitted with two additional key-operated patio door locks as well as the standard centre lock. Patio door locks can be installed on all types of patio doors, including wood and aluminium, to help prevent both the forcing and lifting of the patio doors off their track. Chubb locks also make an anti-lift device, which is fitted into the top track to take up the gap to prevent the door from being forced off its track.
FRENCH DOORS
French doors should be fitted with key-operated security bolts to the top and bottom of both doors, as well as the central sashlock, which should be a good 5-lever sashlock. The key-operated bolts are either cut into the top and bottom of the door, and all that is visible is the keyhole on the inside face of the door, or surface-fitted bolts, such as in the picture on the right of an Era Pressbolt. Standard non-locking slide bolts should not be fitted to French doors as they are not strong enough, and the doors can be opened by just releasing the bolts and pushing the doors. To complement these high-security bolts, you may consider upgrading to smart cylinders for keyless entry, or installing collapsible gates as a secondary barrier if your existing hardware requires professional lock repairs across Newport Pagnell, Campbell Park, Olney, Wolverton, and the surrounding areas.
