In recent times there has been a noticeable increase in burglaries’ the time taken to gain entry is usually less than one minute. The security on some older styles of windows is poor and offers little resistance to the burglar. With the majority of burglaries a screw driver is used to prize open the window. Another method is removing the glass from windows that are not internally beaded.

All window security can be improved by adding extra hardware to your existing windows. Adam and Eve Windows specialise in improving your window security.

In timber windows the wood can split where the handle is screwed to the frame when it is forced. With aluminium when the window is forced the rivets can come loose. The thin aluminium frame can bend under pressure and the cock spur handle comes away.  uPVC windows can also be forced and the multi point locking mechanism can come out of the receivers on the frame. A number of extra types of hardware can be fitted to window frames like sash locks, shoot bolts and child safety latches.
