Making Sure Your Windows Are Secure

Making sure your windows are more secured 

If you reside in the upper floors of apartment buildings, you are still unsafe from break-ins, especially through the windows. Balcony doors and windows can be close to neighboring apartments, which makes your apartment susceptible to burglaries. Windows are not only necessary for the safety of your home, they are also necessary for the safety of your children and pets. Fatal falls are recorded on regular basis, especially for underage children who play close to windows. 

How to secure your windows effectively

Many old and newer homes may not have sufficient locks to keep the windows secured. For this reason, it is important to change the locks on the windows if they are not strong enough. The windows on the ground floor and those on the first floor can be accessed using a tool, hence they must be priority windows for an upgrade. Ideally, you should have locks that will secure the windows from the inside and at the same time should allow cool, fresh air in when slightly opened.

Other tips to keep your windows more secured

Make sure your window frames are solid and well-secured. Don't allow the frames to be lifted easily from the sill, hence you must do away with those aluminum sliding windows that can be easily accessed by intruders. Make sure the windows are properly screwed into the frames, and all rotten or weakened wooden frames must be replaced as soon as possible. You may also want to consider installing an alarm on your windows.
