Casement windows explained simply!"},"content":{"rendered":"

A casement window is a window that can be opened on a vertically positioned axis located on either the right or left side of the window. In Germany, tilt-and-turn windows have become the standard and can be found in most buildings. However, a pure casement window cannot be tilted. Tilting works via a horizontally positioned axis, while turning operates through the aforementioned vertical axis. Tilt windows cannot be opened completely but only tilted open by a small gap, as the name suggests.<\/p>\n

Casement windows are standardized according to DIN specifications, which is why there are DIN-left and DIN-right versions, depending on the direction in which the window can be opened. However, the pure casement window is not particularly common in Germany. Depending on the user’s perspective, it may be considered more secure than a tilt-and-turn window. This is because burglars can use a tilted window to gain access to an apartment.<\/p>\n

One security advantage of a casement window is that it can be mounted particularly securely within the window frame. A sturdy hinge axis on one side and a robust locking mechanism on the opposite side ensure that the window can hardly be pried open, if at all. Naturally, manufacturing quality and price play an important role here. Strong and durable steel is expensive, and while thinner steel may keep the window closed, it does little to deter burglars. Therefore, burglary protection<\/a> is often an overlooked consideration when purchasing new windows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Features<\/p>\n

Tilt-and-turn windows offer numerous functional advantages, but they make it
\neasier for intruders to gain entry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Burglary prevention by Locksmith Service Munich – Mario Pichelmaier<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As an experienced locksmith service, we are naturally capable of gaining entry to any apartment\u2014even without a key. As a result, we know exactly where the weak points of a building are. Suppose you call us because you have unfortunately lost your front door key. Perhaps it even broke off while you were trying to unlock the door and is now blocking the lock. When we arrive on site and notice a tilted window, it may be much easier for us to gain access through the window than to work on the high-security lock of the front door. We open the window for you, you climb inside, retrieve your spare key, and everyone is happy. Burglars can be just as pleased when they see a tilted or even open window at your property.<\/p>\n

Anyone intending to break into a house will always choose the path of least resistance. If your home is equipped with solid doors and high-quality security locks, burglars will take a closer look at your windows. If you have an inexpensive casement window that is only moderately secured within its frame, criminals will very likely pry open that very window and pay you an unwanted visit.<\/p>\n

For this reason, we at Locksmith Service Munich – Mario Pichelmaier offer burglary prevention services. We analyze your property and search for potential weak points. Your property should be viewed as a system that is only as secure as its weakest link. This weak point could be anything from an overlooked patio door to a low-cost casement window. If you have a fa\u00e7ade that can be climbed and a roof window that is little more than a loosely installed plastic panel exposed to the wind, then that spot becomes a perfect entry point for burglars. We analyze your property and create a tailored security concept for you. In most cases, it is not necessary to change everything\u2014only to reinforce the weakest points.<\/p>\n
