If you choose one of our High Security Locking handle options (i.e. Not our Cockspur handles) your windows will come with a high security multipoint lock. This lock consists of a number of bi-directional mushroom cams, which lock into heavy duty keeps, and a shootbolt to the top and bottom of the window sash. These locks provide excellent compression, smooth operation and are mostly stainless steel in construction for maximum corrosion resistance.
Your windows will either come with high strength stainless steel friction stays or profile related butt hinges. When closed Friction hinges will help to secure the top and bottom of side hung vents or the sides of top hung vents. While our profile related butt hinges have inter-locking elements that act like sash Jammers, helping to secure the hinge edge of the window and removing the need for additional sash Jammers
Friction Hinges provide a much higher level of security than butt hinges.
Despite the fact that window handles are to the inside only, all of our handles options have a key locking facility as standard. This is so you can lock the handle on the inside, to prevent the handle from being operated. This provides added peace of mind.
Key locking handles is often a requirement for the majority of insurance companies, and by locking your window handle your are covered by your insurance.
All of our Heritage Windows come with sash Jammers, or vector excluders. They are designed to interlock when the window is closed, to secure the hinge edge of your windows. They are unobtrusive and provide enhanced security without affecting the opening and closing performance of the hinge. Preventing your windows from being jimmied open, in a forced attack.
These windows come with a secure night vent facility. The keeps each have an additional locking point that allows for the window to be secured in a slightly open position. This provides ventilation, while the window remains secure.
The handles from our Chelton handle range cannot be easily unscrewed or removed to get at the locking mechanism. This is due to the fact that the fixing screws are concealed under the glazing bead, the visible screws on these handles are for aesthetics only. You cannot remove the window handles without removing the glazing beads.
All the opening sashes and dummy sashes on these windows are internally glazed, this provides added security. As in order to remove the glass, you must be inside the property. Fixed lites will also be internally glazed, if you specify the couplers only construction.
You can further increase the security by specifying laminated security glass. This glass is made up of two layers of glass that are bonded together by a high strength interlayer, which holds the glass in place when broken.
