Window and window security

On average, entry doors in homes, apartments and businesses are the weakest link in terms of burglary resistance. But just as often we see burglary attempts and successful break-ins through the windows

So also secure your windows against burglary attempts, and not just on et ground floor.

We distinguish 2 measures in window security.

1. Window security such as lockable window handles against burglars who drill a hole through the window frame to use an awl to remove the window opening.
   We call this the hole-boring technique.
2. Window security such as window attachment locks that protect your joinery from brute force with body strength, a crowbar or a large screwdriver.

At every techno-preventive information session, we are asked the question "but what if there is a break-in due to glass breakage?"
Actually, glass breakage is comparatively rare, especially with double glazing. Breaking glass makes a lot of noise, but also poses a risk for burglars to get cuts, especially with double glazing.

What can I do now to better protect my windows from burglary?

Install next window security:

• Lockable window handles with a lock or push button (security window handles)
• window attachment locks if your existing window locks are not satisfactory
