If the weather forecasters are to be believed – although let’s face it, they often get it wrong – the UK is set to be basking in a heatwave come the end of August. A spell of warm weather means that we’ll all be want to keep our windows open more than usual as this is, of course, the best way to cool the house down.
Although having lots of windows open is a great way to let fresh air and a cool breeze in, it can present something of a security risk. Even if you’re just popping out for a quick trip to the shops it’s really important to make sure you close all your windows – and the doors of course! Window locks are a great way to add an extra level of security to your home and because they’re very cost effective and easy to fit, here at Dalec we always recommend them to our customers.
Window locks are particularly useful for increasing the security of ground floor windows and patio doors. Ground floor windows are a magnet to potential thieves as if they’re unlocked or left open, offer an easy to way to gain entry to a property. With this in mind, the importance of locking your windows and doors should never be underestimated!
