Modern windows are now typically glazed from the
inside, so burglars can’t easily remove the glass. Simple
window locks have now been replaced with ultra-secure
shoot bolts. Dedicated locking mechanisms are fixed
securely into the frames, which in turn boast thickened
wall sections for increased strength and security. Look
for products that bear the Secured by Design logo - the
official Police initiative for security and “designing out
crime” (for more details ask your installer for a copy of our
guide on security).
