Many Type of Window Locks Available

Window Latch – Found on the top of a window sash, window latches are the most common type of window lock in Melbourne, FL. Window latches are simple locks that secure the two window sashes together.

Keyed Locks – Often paired with single hung, double hung or sliding windows, keyed locks are installed on the side of your window and secure it to the frame. As the name implies, keyed locks can only be opened using a….you guessed it…key!

Hinged Wedge Lock – If you have small children then hinged wedge locks may be a consideration for you. While allowing you to open the window to a certain degree (and therefore circulate fresh air) they do not permit the window to open all the way.

Swivel Action Locks – These are self-locking mechanisms that prevent the window from opening once it’s closed without the use of a key.

Folding Latches – Often used with awning or “crank windows” they are found on the window frame and, when closed, fold down to lock the window in place.

Handle Lock – A very common type of window lock that is a simple latch that connects with a lip on the bottom of your window frame. To open the window simple lift the latch and slide the window.

Don’t Forget The Glass Itself

While not a locking device, the type of glass installed on your windows can greatly enhance the overall security of your home. Replacing ordinary glass with tempered or laminated glass will make them much more resistant to shattering should an intruder try to break in.

When Your Window Hardware Need To Be Replaced

If you’re like most folks your windows stay closed during summer protecting you during the oppressive Florida heat. However the hardware that lifts and holds your windows in place (balancers, cranks, locks, etc) have no such protection. They endure a daily cycle of moisture and heat, which, after time, can lead to these window parts seizing up or failing completely (creating the guillotine effect that alerted may have alerted you to the problem). When your window hardware fails your window becomes inoperable, either it wont stay up or if you are able to open it you may not be able to close it. When this happens it’s time to call the window hardware repair experts at AA Window Repair
