In times past most windows did not have locks because of low crime but today everyone’s home has locks on their windows to keep out burglars. When looking at the openings where someone could get in windows seem harder to make secure than some doors. One of the reasons is that there are variety styles of windows, which call for a variety of window locks. When looking at locks for your windows it is simple if you know what the different window locks functions are.
Some of the different window locks found in home improvement stores can include:
• Key sash window locks—this type of lock works efficiently with double-hung windows and are mounted to the side of the window sash or window. To open and close the windows you will need a key to remove the lock. The locks come in a variety of finishes too match the room’s décor.
• Folding window locks—this lock mounts to the top window of a double –hung window and also fall in the customized lock category, which will permit the window to open just a little. The window will not be able to fully open unless the lock is folded in toward the window. This lock will provide air circulation to the room without compromising the homeowner’s safety.
• Sliding window locks—with this lock you can install the locks so that they mount onto the track on either side and then wing nut has to be twisted in place in order to mount it to the window securely. You can also install permanent sliding locks on the window in order to keep it from sliding. No special tools are needed to install the sliding window locks. They can give the homeowner the choice of leaving the window open slightly but securely locked into place. You can also get these as locking sliding window locks where you have to take the lock off using a key before you can open the window.
• Hinged window locks—this lock provides a couple of functions to your windows. When the window locks are locked securely in place it will prevent the window from being fully opened. It will open to where you have installed the lock. To allow the window to slide open completely you just push the lock inward towards the window.
• Window latch lock—this is the general lock that you find in most windows today. The latch locks attaches to the top of the bottom window and then when closed it connects securely to the top window. This can be achieved when you turn the latch handle and lock the bottom and top windows together.
