What is a window bar lock? The window bar lock explained simply!
15. December 2023A window rod lock is an additional lock used to improve protection against burglaries through windows. By using two or more stable locking points, it effectively makes it much more difficult to lever the secured window open or force it open through pressure.
A rod lock can generally be installed on most windows, at least as long as they are inward-opening—which is the case for most windows. In many cases, a window rod lock replaces the standard window handle, is unobtrusive, and easy to operate.
A window rod lock also always includes a set of window rods. These come in different lengths depending on the size of the window or window door. In general, window rods and locks can be purchased either as a set or individually.
It does not matter whether the window frame is made of plastic, wood, or aluminum—the window rod lock is compatible with all types of windows.
Strike plates are also known by other names, such as locking piece, keeper, or strike plate.
