Window locks are as important as door locks
Plenty of people spend on strong door locks and leave the windows as the weak point. Windows are a common way intruders get in, especially ground floor and rear windows out of sight of the street. Good window locks slow an intruder down, and they let you leave a window open for airflow without leaving the house open.
Secure the entry points burglars actually try first.
Lock windows partly open for airflow while staying secure.
Restrict how far a window opens to help keep young children safe.
Finishes to match your windows, from white and primrose to polished brass and chrome.
Some home insurers also expect windows to be properly secured, so it is worth a quick look at your policy. If you are not sure what your windows need, we will take a look and give you honest advice.
Safety locks for windows and units
Falls from windows are a real risk for young children, and window restrictors are a simple fix. We fit safety locks and restrictors that limit how far a window opens while still letting it work normally.
If you live in a strata-managed complex, we can set the lock-off to a 12.5cm opening to help meet NSW window safety device requirements, in line with the Kids Don’t Fly guidance. If you manage or own units, we can sort this across the building.
Restricted opening
Windows that open only to a safe gap for children.
Strata and units
Fitted across common areas and apartments.
Still easy to use
Normal opening when released, so airflow is not lost.

Window lock FAQs
Why do I need window locks if my doors are secure?
Windows are one of the most common ways intruders get in, especially ground floor and rear windows. Locking them properly closes an obvious gap in your home security, and lets you leave a window open for airflow without leaving the house open.
Can you fit locks to sliding, sash and awning windows?
Yes. We fit locks to sliding, sash and awning or casement windows, and match the lock type to your window and frame. If a window needs a particular lock or finish, we will tell you when we look at it.
Can window locks help keep my children safe?
Yes. Restrictor and safety locks limit how far a window opens so young children cannot climb out or fall. In a strata complex we can set the opening to 12.5cm to help meet NSW window safety device requirements. Ask us about safety locks for windows when you call.
My window locks are stuck or I have lost the key. Can you fix that?
Usually, yes. We service stiff or seized locks, replace ones that are past it, and cut or make replacement keys for windows with missing keys. Often a service is all it takes rather than a full replacement.
Can all my windows use the same key?
Yes. We can key your windows alike so one key works them all, or bring them into a wider master key plan. We can also cut spare keys so everyone has a set.
