Sash Window Locks With Key

Sash windows are sometimes difficult to secure. The basic centre catch used on most sash windows can easily be cut open using the help of a screwdriver or knife.

There are many options to enhance security without altering the traditional look of timber windows with sash. Some of the less noticeable options are opening restrictors and barrel fasteners.

Sash stops

Installing the security lock on an old sliding sash timber frame window can be a great way to prevent children from opening the window and climbing in. You can do this project yourself, and it's inexpensive.

There are a variety of options available for locking your sash windows, but we would recommend the Migstop restrictor by Mighton. This is a spring-loaded device that can be locked open or closed using the use of a key. It also prevents the window from moving past the pre-set limit which is ideal if you have small children.

To attach the fastener, you must first close the window and lock it. Then mark the location of the holes with pencil on both sides of frame. Then, drill the holes. After you've made the holes, you can place the fastener in place and secure it using the screws supplied. Check the fastener, and ensure that it is closed and opens easily.

The upper sash is equipped with sash stops to prevent the sashes sliding over each other. They are unobtrusive and easy to install, but they are only effective when they are installed in the right position within the window. You can also install sash bolts that are more difficult to remove, but they require keys.

These bolts are placed on the top and bottom of the upper sash to stop them from being loosened. These bolts come in two different forms: protruding bolts which can only be removed with an appropriate tool, or pick bolts which can be removed. They can be used in combination with sash stoppers that are fitted to the frame to allow an opening gap of 100mm, which allows you to get fresh air into your home without the risk of burglary.

Another option is to put in a frame to frame lock that is located at the bottom of the lower sash, and at the top of the upper sash. They can be opened with a key, and are more secure than traditional sash stoppers. However, they might not be suitable for people with disabilities or those who have difficulty operating traditional sash double glazing windows.

Sash bolts

A sash bolt is among the most cost-effective and simple ways to secure windows with sash. They are installed between the inner and the outer frames to prevent the sash being forced open. They are simple to put in and are available in a variety of sizes for most windows with sash. You should always fit them in pairs to provide the best protection. They can also be a great alternative to the standard catch that holds the sashes in place but you should still secure your windows to ensure maximum security.

A sash-window screw is made of brass and comes with an opening that is drilled into the lower sash. A bolt is then inserted into this and locked into place using a key. This effectively affixes the two sashes, making them inaccessible without a key. However, they don't stop the window from sliding down and down, which means you'll have to pull a cord or lever to open the window.

A frame-to-frame lock is another kind of sash lock. The lock is located on the top of the lower sash and is secured by a push-inbolt. This can be key-operated or automatic, and offers excellent security. It's also fairly simple to install and is a great alternative for older sash windows.

It is essential to keep your sash windows well maintained to ensure that they function properly. It's important to fix any damaged parts as soon as possible. You can seek help from a sash window service by resealing your windows and repainting them to stop decay in the wood. They can also repair draughts to ensure your home is energy efficient.

Surface-mounted locks

They are affixed to a sash window frame and stop it from opening too wide. These locks don't act as handles, but rather restrict the window by securing it to the frame with bolts. They can be installed on either double glazed timber sash windows or single-hung vertical sliding sash windows and are suitable for windows on the second floor. However, they're not ideal for first-floor windows as burglars can still break into the window from outside.

They are available in various designs and finishes. Some bolts protrude and can be removed by keys or a key, while others are concealed within the frame. They cost more than sash stops but offer greater security and are more effective against burglars. They are not as easy to install as sash bolts, and require special tools.

It's crucial to select an established company for your installation or replacement. Check reviews, credentials, social networks, and accreditations of a company to ensure that you receive the best service. It's also a good idea to get quotes from multiple companies to compare costs and services. After the work has been completed it is important to test your new fasteners to ensure they shut and open as they should do and that they are secure.

A child-proof lock can be used on windows with sash. They can be used to stop children from opening the windows and are available in a range of colors and sizes. Some have the lever which rotates around a quarter of a circle to place on a catch mounted on the lower window frame. This type of fastener is usually hung so high that children can't reach it with their hands.

While the locks on window screens can make you feel safer, they're really no threat to determined intruders. They're not designed to keep children from falling out of windows and shouldn't be relied upon to do this. Instead, you should opt for a window sash lock that allows for ventilation, but is difficult to open without a key. These sash window lock types are also referred to as dual screw locks. They have an elongated bolt that fits into an opening on the inside of the sash, and another bolt that fits into the hole on the frame of the casement. They are easy to install and offer more protection than the stopper for sashes.

Keyed Sash locks

You can deter criminals from breaking into traditional windows with secondary glazing sash windows. It's a good idea to examine them and fix them. This will ensure that they're functioning properly and have security features. This will make it more difficult for criminals to gain entry into, and they'll likely quit and move on to a different target.

Installing sash stops in the frame is a excellent idea. They will stop the window from opening beyond a certain amount. They can be placed on either side of the frame and come in both protruding and non-protruding versions. They're easy to put in and are usually made from zinc diecast with white-painted finishes. They are also very durable and can be locked by keys.

In addition to sash stoppers and sash bolts, you can also add sash bolts to your frame. Bolts allow the frame to pass through the hole of the inner sash and into the slot on the exterior frame. They stop the sash being pulled open. They can be installed as a pair to offer maximum protection.

These windows will not only boost your energy efficiency but also improve the security of your sash window. They prevent the sash being pushed out, which decreases drafts and loss of heat. These bolts are available in protruding and non-protruding styles. You can buy them either by themselves or in a set.

It is not wise to depend on these security measures alone as criminals are always able to find ways to circumvent them. Therefore, it is essential to install a solid core door and ensure that your locks function properly. This will deter criminals and improve your peace of mind. When installing new sash locks it is best to leave them to professionals to ensure that they're installed correctly and do not interfere with the operation of your windows. To have more security, you can also search for a company that has a good reputation and social media.
