Home Security Window Locks
Other than just a patio door latch and a standard window that keeps out and delays thieves, one needs
more than that to make the intentions effective. Always keep the keys at a place hidden but familiar to
you and family members especially next to the doors and windows just in case of an emergency. To
make this even easier, ensure that you purchase the latchet equipments from the same source
http://lockitblockit.com so that they are easily interchangeable.
Home security window locks meant for windows that slide A door-bolt-like tool which mostly operates
using a key may be used to close casement windows. You should always slide the bolt into the metal cup
that mounts the sill after screwing the lock to the window.
In order to deter thieves from lifting a gliding window out of its track, remember to drive a screw
actually into the upper track. A screw should be driven through in a horizontal manner through the track
so as to keep the window from sliding. Sliding windows bar lock have locks that are made by different
companies. In some the window track is closed by a stop that slides over the window. When you want to
lock the window, you should move the lever in one direction or turn it the other way to allow it slide
open the window. A thumb screw may be used in other locks in replace of a lever.
On the track you may use a key track stop as a locking stop. So as to leave certain space for air and
safety or to even shut the window completely, you should position it in the most favorable way.
Home security window locks for double-hung windows A locking pin most preferably is used when
dealing with double-hung windows. For intruders not to be able to lift the sash, the locking pin should go
through one installed sash and also into the other. A hole that you drill should be screwed through by
some pins. Others should have a key that comes with them and should drive out and in of the hole.
Above the meeting rail or so an inch on top of the sash, ventilating locks should be screwed. A plate
usually screwed to the other sash is struck by a pin positioned in a particular manner whenever the
window is opened. When you want your window to open to a full amount, you should slide the pin
around the corner.
A double-hung window should have a hinged wedge lock that nails in its window track. For you to have
enough fresh air in the room, you should choose a favorable point for the wedge. The window can then
rise only up to the wedge when it is in position. The window can now be opened to any height when you
swing the wedge out of the way.
For you to open a window with a keyed turnbuckle you need keys in case they are used to replace a
normal latch. The original latch may be replaced by a child-safety latch. It is easier to use although it
looks like childproof caps used on medicine. The child should turn the latch while squeezing the lever.
