Window locks can be replaced, but it is best to consult a professional to ensure the replacement is done correctly. Incorrectly installed window locks can be ineffective and may even put your home at risk.
Locksmiths are trained in the installation and repair of door locks, window locks and safes. While some locksmiths may specialize in one type of lock, most are able to install and repair a variety of locks.
There are a few things you can do to make your old windows more secure: -Install window locks or bars -Reinforce the glass with a clear film -Install a security system -Make sure your windows are in good repair and not easy to break
Window latches are small devices that are used to keep windows closed. There are many different types of window latches, but they all work in basically the same way. A window latch is installed on the frame of the window and is engaged by a small lever or knob. When the lever or knob is turned, the window latch is tightened and the window is secured.

Absolute rock. For nubes like myself who are installing locks, acquire 4 #14 3/4" screws for each lock. The recommendations from Amazon are too flimsy. At Ace, screws cost 45 cents each. I'm unsure of the purpose of the bolts that come with the lock, but they probably belong on a door other than mine. If your garage doesn't already have this kind of lock, you might need to remove some track to make room for the lock's bolt. The sheet metal can be easily removed with a hammer and a hefty screwdriver. With my wood bits, I had trouble getting the holes to drill easily. Back to Ace for a metal drill bit, and it cut through the butter like a hot knife. By the way, a 3/16 drill bit will fit a #14 screw. Installation was quite simple, and it's comforting to know the garage is now secure.

I wanted a means to stop my grandson with special needs from climbing out the window to reach the construction equipment next door, otherwise known as the "bulldozers." I was quite frightened by how quickly he was able to access my window, pop out the screen, and exit the building. These effectively thwart his attempts to flee! Whether you want to keep people inside or outside, these are fantastic for piece of mind! They had flat heads, whereas these have pointed heads and acquire a much better hold. I've tried others before, but they didn't work since he could pop them straight off. Strongly advised!

Exactly what I needed to replace my old, worn-out, and damaged Andersen window cranks. They are very snug when tightened, easily adjustable, and, as other reviewers have noted, the color match is superb. I have a few dozen windows with them and some are still in excellent condition because they don't get used very often because the color is so good that I only bought enough to replace those I absolutely needed to replace. This saved me a ton of money. Even yet, it was essential that they all matched, and neither the color nor shape of the new ones nor the old ones truly stand out.

For the railing leading to the basement stairs, I purchased 3 of them. It is an entire wood rail. Actually, the previous brackets split in two. Although I'm not sure how that's possible, I have a suspicion that my sons were somehow responsible for it. Additionally, they appeared to be the original brackets from the late 1960s, which I'm sure didn't help. I have similar stair rail brackets in a different color on my stair rail leading to the second story, and they look fantastic. Schlage is a name I trust. These were simple to install because I didn't need to measure or calculate the right height or space between each bracket because there were already old, broken brackets to replace on the rail and existing, existing broken brackets on the wall. Additionally, I didn't have to consider how they should line up or seem. A wall bracket, a bracket for the rail, and the corresponding screws were included in each kit. However, the absence of any directions in the bag is ONE of the reasons I only gave these a 4-star rating. Why a piece of paper with a few instructions couldn't be included within the bag that these came in is beyond me. I had no problems because I could use the brackets that were already there and because I had done this before. I had instructions the last time I put stair rail brackets. I am aware that some people could disagree and believe that this task isn't hard enough to warrant instructions, but I believe they should be provided. I know that there was a choice between "with professional installation" and "without expert installation," but I don't think selecting the "without" option should imply that homeowners will not receive any instructions. One of the brackets was scraped up when it was delivered because the screws were mixed up with the brackets in one of the bags, which is the other reason I deducted a star from the ranking. I don't mind the scratches myself, especially since they are on my unfinished basement stairs, but I'm recording them because other people might. The scratches might only be a problem with this color because brackets of the same brand and type that are on my other stairs but have a different color or finish have held up beautifully and have no scratches. These have a handyman skill rating of three out of ten. You must be able to use a measuring tape accurately, possess the strength to hold and lift the rail or have a helper, be able to use a drill, and understand how to determine whether you will need extra support where you screw the bracket into the wall (ie is there a stud or just drywall).

✅ NOTICE- PLEASE MEASURE the window or door track where the device will be placed BEFORE BUYING. The security bar extends from 15 1/2" to 29 1/2" long (MAX length is 2.46 feet). Window tracks MUST be at least 1 inch wide. The security device is 1 inch wide in all sides.
✅ EXTENDABL & ADJUSTABLE - Decide how high you want the window to open with the 22 adjustable settings. Lock the height in place with the push of a pin and the long screw help to reach the very small adjustment of the window's opening.
✅ STOP FORCED ENTRY OR UNEXPECTED EXCIDENCE - The Push pin provides extra resistance from forced entry. Burglars can't reach it from the outside when correctly installed. It can also protect children from falling out of open windows.
✅ STRENGTHEN HOME SECURITY - High-impact STEEL burglar proof bars are used to stop criminals from entering homes through open windows or patio doors. Windows can now stay open to the width or height you wish and be securely locked open.
✅ EASY TO INSTALL - Unique design (patent pending); No tools needed. Stick the supplied adhesive strips on the window /door track and the security bar and then put it on. It stays well and doesn't fall out when properly installed and adjusted. Removes easily in emergencies. Fits discretely in window / door tracks and looks decent.

It's remarkable how many shoddy security bars there are for what ought to be a relatively straightforward item.I looked at a lot of bars on Amazon and at my neighborhood big-box hardware shop, but I came away disappointed by the low quality of the materials (plastics) and the lack of adjustability. Simply said, I need a bar that can survive a strong penetration without being too complicated by a plethora of broken or badly built elements.With regard to strength and use, this security bar is ideal. Everything is made of metal, is movable in millimeters, and is securely fastened so that a person cannot force it open because pins and threads are used instead of tension. The only drawback I can think of is that the velcro isn't trimmed to size and doesn't provide much support on its own. The fact that there is a hole to screw this into something is a positive, and the strain should be enough to keep this in place.Overall, very highly advised! If you want something that will do what you expect it to do—prevent attackers from forcing your window or door open—look no further.Cheers!

To keep the younger children away from the steps, I constructed a gate for the deck. The latch was simply and securely placed. We utilize a straightforward combo lock to make it difficult for young children to open while still allowing bigger kids to use it (there is a hole in the latch that allows for locks).

This product appears to have been a wise investment. On a small window, we changed a (very) ancient metal sash lock. Although it seems reliable enough to hold up the small glass, I'll be watching it closely. I anticipated that the latch would be the same size as the prior lock, but that was not the case. I had to pre-drill a few new holes, but it wasn't a problem. I centred and placed the sash lock on the window while both parts were still locked together to ensure that the latch would match up exactly. They match up after doing this and open and close very smoothly.

A rubber liner protects the window railing and the window lock is nice. Additionally, it features two screws to increase its surface grip. For my hands, the screw heads are a little too little. But they seem to function properly and have good grip. It is recommended to use two locks per window, one on the bottom and one on the top, as instructed. This contributes to greater security. Only four stars are given for the slightly small screw handles since it can be challenging to gain a firm hold and tighten the lock. In any case, I think it's a pretty attractive lock that is also reasonably priced.

First of all, only your grandmother will be kept out by this. Although the glue is powerful, if you are really concerned about someone pushing their way in, I wouldn't rely on it (instead of a solid bar along the floor) (in reality, crooks will just smash your sliders or pop them out of the tracks).HOWEVER! These as child locks for your sliders get my complete endorsement. They are on the grandparents' sliders as well as all of mine. No short child will be able to smuggle out unless they are the most cunning if you put them in the top corner.UPDATE: In other reviews, I've noticed that these were installed wrongly. Installing them horizontally, not vertically, is required! 2. To make sure the positioning is ideal, I set mine in the top corner with the lock part up (L-shaped). Additionally, I set them with the moving part at the bottom (i.e., push leg up to activate lock, down flat to deactivate). 3. Position them as close as you can without obstructing the bracket to the door that opens (like 1mm). You cannot allow the door to advance if these are to have any chance of deterring access.

I recently had replacement screens fitted for $200 each, however none of them have a snap lock to keep the screen in place. These are the best to keep the screen in place and prevent it from moving. Why make it simpler for someone to break through a screen to get inside by having a screen that simply rises up so you don't even know they entered? They prevent the screens from being raised from the outside by holding them in place. I like to open the windows on my street level from the top, but the screens started falling out. this keep them in place so the flies won't get inside. They work well to prevent windows above air conditioners from being slid open from the outside by locking them in place. They perform an excellent job keeping screens and windows in place for a great price even though they don't offer a high end security system.
If your window's latch is broken, you can fix it with a few simple tools. First, remove the screws that hold the latch in place. Next, use a file to remove any burrs or rough edges from the latch. Finally, reattach the latch with new screws.

Window locks are an important part of any home security system, and they can vary in price depending on the type of lock and the size of the window. Generally, the cost to replace a window lock will be between $30 and $50, but it is always best to consult with a locksmith or home security specialist to get an accurate estimate.
A window is typically made up of six parts: the sill, the jambs, the head jamb, the lintel, the sash, and the muntins.
There are seven types of locks: padlocks, deadbolts, knob locks, lever locks, key-in-knob locks, mortise locks, and magnetic locks. Padlocks are the simplest and most common type of lock. Deadbolts are more secure than padlocks, as they cannot be picked as easily. Knob locks are often used on doors that do not require a high level of security, such as interior doors. Lever locks are common on commercial doors, as they are more difficult to pick than knob locks. Key-in-knob locks are similar to
There are a few different types of window locks that are commonly used in homes and businesses. The most common type is the keyed lock, which is a lock that uses a key to secure the window in place. There are also push button locks, which are locks that are secured with a push button, and there are also magnetic locks, which use a magnet to hold the window in place.
