Window Locks in Burwood East

Windows are one of the most common ways into a home, and many have no lock at all beyond a simple catch. Window locks make it much harder to open a window from outside, and restrictors let you leave windows open for fresh air without leaving a gap someone can climb through or a child can fall out of.

01

Why window locks matter

An unlocked window, or one held only by a basic catch, can often be opened quietly from outside. Ground-floor windows at the back and side of a house, hidden from the street, are the most at risk. A keyed lock means a window cannot be opened without breaking glass, which is noisy and something most intruders avoid.

02

Restrictors and child safety

Window restrictors limit how far a window opens, usually to around 12.5cm. That keeps fresh air coming in while stopping a young child from falling out and preventing someone climbing in. They are especially useful on upper floors and in bedrooms.

Windows common in the area

Many homes around Burwood East have aluminium sliding windows from the 1970s and 1980s, timber sash and casement windows in older homes, and awning windows in newer townhouses. Each needs a different lock type. We fit the right one for each window and can key them all alike so one small key works throughout.

04

Keeping exits usable

Some windows double as emergency exits from bedrooms. We talk through which windows need to open quickly, and make sure keys are kept close by in an obvious place. Security should never trap anyone inside.
