A window security device serves the purpose of burglary protection<\/a> at the window. There are many different devices that provide greater security for residential homes or commercial properties.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Why window security devices are important<\/h2>\n

Break-ins occur far more often through windows than through doors, yet window security is sometimes neglected. An unsecured window is very easy to open; it requires little more than a screwdriver and some basic experience and manual skill.<\/p>\n

With a window security device, however, this risk can be significantly reduced. Although a break-in cannot be completely ruled out even with such protection, the risk is greatly minimized. For most burglars, it needs to be quick and simple. If they notice that a window is secured and that forcing it open would require considerable effort, almost all of them immediately give up and look for an easier target.<\/p>\n

Types of window security devices<\/h2>\n

Window security devices are versatile, and a window can of course be equipped with several different types of protection. Anti-pry devices (window anti-lift protection<\/a>) are usually quick to install. They are generally quite unobtrusive and do not interfere with normal use; for example, the window can still be opened. However, some devices are only suitable for inward-opening windows. Fortunately, this is the case for most windows anyway.<\/p>\n

A typical window security device is also a lockable window handle, although this is more often used as a child safety feature rather than burglary protection\u2014so that small children cannot open the window themselves and potentially fall out. More effective in terms of burglary protection are additional locks for the handle side<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ideal window security setup is achieved when you have both anti-lift protection\u2014which is mounted on the hinge side of the window\u2014and an additional lock on the handle side. In addition, you can apply a security film to the glass that holds the shards together if the window is smashed, and install an alarm system on the window.<\/p>\n

It is also advisable to lock interior doors, at least when you are traveling. If an intruder does gain access through a window into your home, they will then face another obstacle.<\/p>\n
