Child protection on plastic windows
When a child appears in the family, parents have to think not only about the comfort and ergonomics of the apartment, but also about safety. Children are known for their desire to touch everything forbidden and sometimes commit something that you can’t expect from them. Put safe handles on children's furniture, remove lighters or matches higher, insert plugs into sockets or replace them with special devices with protection, put stoppers on the doors so that they do not close until the end - all this must be done, but do not forget about safety windows. Especially if the apartment is located on the second floor and above. Of course you can keep the windows closed and unscrew the handles, but this option will not allow you to comfortably use the windows and you will open them less often, leaving no room for fresh air to appear in your apartment. The best solution to this problem is to install a baby lock on the window.
What is a children's window lock?
Baby locks can be installed at any time and they are not something that is installed on the window only at the production stage. Such devices will be useful for pet owners who like to look outside. Most importantly, child safety and window locks allow it to be provided. There are several types of them and are suitable for any windows - plastic, wooden, aluminum. They differ in the principle of operation and appearance, cost and the presence or absence of removable elements, but the result is always the same - children's locks on the windows prevent the full opening of the movable wings. Thanks to them, the most secure conditions are created for children. The short description below will help you make your choice. Also, you can always contact our window masters in a convenient way for you, ask questions of interest to you and get detailed advice on installing locks or making plastic windows with baby locks.
Window handles with a lock

Two-component overhead locks
This type of baby window lock is convenient, but only suitable for installation on a plastic window. We do not recommend installing on balcony doors! Locks are white and brown. It consists of two elements - the main unit is mounted on the lower sash of the window, an additional one with a cutout for the tab on the window frame. Such a lock is convenient in that you can freely open the window for ventilation, but without a key you cannot open it completely. Requires accurate installation and, in some cases, removal of the sash. The main disadvantage is the unreliable design of the castle's larva, since on defective or Chinese versions it falls out of the block and this negates all the advantages of this option.
One-piece overhead locks
In our opinion - the most convenient type of children's castle on the window. It is installed under the sash of the window or on the side of it, fixing only on the frame. A window lock can be of several colors - white, brown and gray. There are no shortcomings of two-component overhead locks, retaining the main plus - ease of use. A child’s lock blocks the swing mode, allowing you to freely use the reclining mode and not to run after the key every time. It requires precise installation, because it is necessary to drill in a certain place so that the mount goes into the armature hidden inside the window frame. We advise: DO NOT do this yourself. Due to the design features, it is not always possible to install, for example, on sliding constructions of window blocks.
Window lock with cable
Where it is not possible to install a one-part padlock, we recommend installing this type of padlock. Represents a design from two elements connected among themselves by a strong cable. One part is mounted on a movable casement window, the second on the frame. There are white and brown. The cable length allows you to open the window at 50-100mm. This version of the child's lock requires accurate installation. Many do not like the appearance, so we recommend installing them according to your desire.
Window locks
This type of locks is mainly in demand in commercial premises or shopping centers where opening a window is not advisable. They look concise and inconspicuous. The principle of operation of the lock-stub is simple: the usual handle is removed, and a stub is installed in its place, the shutter of which moves up and down closing the socket of the handle. To change the position of the window, it is necessary to move the curtain and insert a special removable handle. The disadvantage of this option: to store a whole pen separately is not as convenient as keys.
There are other types of locks, for example, built-in windows or electronic windows, but basically they are just unreasonably more expensive than the locks presented above. Choose children's locks correctly and do not save on the safety of those whom you value most!
