Why Window Security Matters
Windows are often the most vulnerable entry points in any property. Statistics show that over 30% of burglaries occur through windows, making proper window security essential for protecting your home, family, and belongings. Modern window locks not only deter intruders but also meet insurance requirements that could reduce your home insurance premiums.
Beyond security, properly functioning window locks ensure safety for families with children, help with energy efficiency by ensuring windows close properly, and add value to your property. Whether you’re dealing with broken window handles, faulty locking mechanisms, or outdated security features, professional window lock services provide peace of mind and enhanced protection.
