Complete Perimeter Seal

The Forgotten Entry Point

Most homeowners focus on doors and forget windows. Burglars know this. A simple latch on a sliding window can be popped in seconds. We install robust secondary locking mechanisms that physically lock the window frame to the house.

Sliding Windows

Charlie bars and track locks prevent the window from sliding or being lifted out.

Double-Hung

Pinned locks and heavy-duty sash latches prevent prying separation.

Casement Windows

Keyed locks and hardened latches for crank-out window styles.

Child Safety

Opening limiters that allow ventilation but prevent falls or entry.

Securing Process

1

Security Audit

We identify all ground-level and accessible windows that pose a risk.

2

Hardware Selection

We select the right lock type (Pin, Bar, Keyed) for each window's function and frame material.

3

Installation

We drill and mount hardware into the metal or wood frame, ensuring a seamless fit.

4

Function Test

We verify the window locks securely but opens smoothly for emergency egress.

Lock Options Guide

Security Pins vs. Keyed Locks
Pins are simple, inexpensive, and effective (drill a hole, insert pin). Keyed locks offer higher security but require key management. We often recommend pins for low-use windows and keyed locks for high-value areas.
Security Bars (Charlie Bars)
The gold standard for sliding glass doors and windows. A physical bar blocks the track. Highly visible deterrent and physically impossible to force open silently.
Window Film
While not a lock, security film prevents glass shattering. Combined with locks, it creates a formidable barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which windows need locks?

Highest priority: Ground floor windows, windows accessible from roofs/porches, and windows hidden from street view.

Best locks for sliding windows?

Track-mounted bars (Charlie bars) or security pins are best. Sash locks are convenient but less secure against prying.

Child safety vs Security?

We install limiters that prevent windows from opening more than 4 inches (safe for kids) but have a quick-release for fire escape (safe for everyone).

Do second-story windows need locks?

Yes, especially if accessible by tree or ladder. Also for child safety.

Cost per window?

$65-$120 depending on lock type. We offer volume discounts for securing the whole house (4+ windows).
