Outward-opening windows Securing windows against break-in

For windows that open outwards, we have various security locks that have been developed to fit precisely and in different colour variants for wooden, aluminium and PVC windows.

Besides terrace doors or balcony doors, normal windows are the main target of intruders to pry them open and get into the house or flat. We therefore recommend: If your windows do not have a security device, retrofit them. Studies have shown that: If it takes an intruder more than two or three minutes to prise open a window, he usually gives up and moves on. Because the risk of being discovered by neighbours or passers-by during a break-in is then too great for him.
