To the International Children's Day

Children are always attracted by what is happening outside the window. How landscapes, sky, life change. A window with a beautiful panoramic view can become a whole world for the knowledge of a little dreamer. I want to get comfortable and watch, watch, watch... The window industry has taken care of the interests of parents and their children and created safe windows for children. Now the window is turning from a subject of increased danger into a source of joy and knowledge of the environment.Details in the material of the portal WINDOWS MEDIA.

Safety windows protect your child

According to statistics, people all over the world most often overestimate safety. It's about home security. Parents do not always think about her, even if there are children in the house! At the same time, the surrounding reality and the informational background prompts - each time to evaluate home furnishings from the point of view of children's safety.

Secure windows with child locks

The state evaluated the safety statistics and took measures: from September 1, 2016, according to GOST (), all windows for residential premises and premises must be equipped with special security devices.

The law recognizes residential premises as those that are isolated, suitable and intended for permanent residence of citizens, the list includes apartments, cottages and houses, including residential buildings erected independently, preschool and school educational institutions, wards of the children's department of the hospital or treatment rooms, examination rooms in the clinic.

As means of protection, the so-called . Changes in GOST oblige all manufacturers from September 1, 2016 to install "child locks" on windows that block the opening of the sash, but do not prevent fixation of the folding position. The locks are installed on the lower bar of the sash from the inside or, at the request of the customer, directly in the window handle.

Another solution offered by the window industry for child safety is a child lock installed under the handle rosette. When using such a tool, moving the handle is possible only if you simultaneously press the inserts in the upper and lower parts of the lock. Thus, to open the window, you need to use both hands, and at the same time perform rather complex manipulations, which is beyond the power of a child. The device can be installed under virtually any window handle: you just need to choose the right size for the socket.

Security in parallel-sliding structures (portals) is ensured by a cylindrical mechanism in the handle, or by using a removable handle. All locks, according to GOST, must have certificates of conformity with class 1 and 2. The user may refuse to install them on his own responsibility by filling out the appropriate documents upon acceptance of the goods. However, the company that sells the windows is obliged to inform the buyer about the need to equip the windows with special child safety devices.

It must be understood that all doors in the house, and not just the children's room, should be equipped with locks. And the keys to them are safely hidden.

Safe window with special fittings

Child locks perform the function of protection, however, they introduce some restrictions on the design of the window. To ensure the safety of the child with the help of the lock, it is necessary to close it tightly, thereby limiting the flow of fresh air into the room. In order to maintain the function of ventilation without loss of safety, it is necessary that the window be equipped with tilt-and-turn fittings. If it is available, the window can be set to tilt ventilation mode and in this position, close it with a lock. The distance of the sash in this position is safe for the child. The sash will be firmly fixed and it is impossible to change its position without a key. Thus, fresh air will enter the room, and the child will be completely safe at the window.

Mosquito net: a danger to the child

Many parents place unreasonably high hopes on the protective properties of a mosquito net. This is a very dangerous delusion, which has repeatedly led to the tragic deaths of children. A mosquito net attached to the window frame protects the interior of the house, and also prevents small objects thrown by accident from flying out the window; it serves as a barrier to poplar fluff and annoying insects, preventing allergies in adults and children. But at the same time - the mosquito net does not in any way belong to the safety elements of the PVC window - its fasteners and the canvas are not designed for the weight of the child, leaning on the net, the child will simply fall out with it. Often, mosquito nets themselves fall out of windows due to the unreliability of their fastenings.

Tempered glass as an element of a safety window

Not only an open window is dangerous. In the closed state, the double-glazed window can also cause injury. The pranks and games of kids often lead to the fact that the glass can break. Today's technology makes it possible to due to the use of internal tempered glass in a double-glazed window. Such glass, when broken, turns into small, not sharp fractions, thereby protecting the child from cuts. If such glass is still made laminated, that is, glued to other glass using a special film, then a strong, safe construction will be obtained that can withstand a strong blow, a ball and other objects hitting the glass. If the double-glazed window is still broken, then all the fragments will remain on the film, and not on the floor or the child. Such glasses can be used for glazing windows, balconies, and balcony and interior doors or partitions.

New means of child safety make it possible to complete the window in such a way that both parents and children can safely enjoy the panorama behind the glass and go about their business without fear for life and health. Timely vigilance and scrupulousness in the installation of child locks will help to avoid unpleasant surprises and turn your home into a secure protected space of warmth and comfort.

The best child protection for windows: all options from bars to locks

With the advent of my grandson, I realized that our house is not at all adapted for a small child to stay in it. There are many dangerous places in it, and one of them is easy-to-open PVC windows. And let the baby be here only at a party, it is necessary to take care of his safety. What protection is there for plastic windows from children?

Setting priorities

Why is a window dangerous for a child? He can smash and shatter. Maybe open the sash and fall out. But even if nothing like this happens, an open or broken window in the cold season is the most direct way to a cold, sore throat and other diseases.

What exactly your child is capable of, you yourself may not know. Even if he has never been very active and has not thrown toys, breaking a window can be completely accidental. And a bird that has flown onto the windowsill will cause a desire to get it even from not the most curious baby.

And it is not so important what exactly you need: protecting children from windows or protecting windows from children, the main thing is that the presence of a little tomboy in the house forces you to seriously think about it. Which made me study the methods and ways of this protection. There were a lot of them. In addition, most of them are also excellent means of hacking.

So, decide what you need: so that the windows do not open at all, open only for ventilation, or entirely, but with a guarantee that the child will not fall out, leaning out into the street. And choose.

Anti-vandal film

This method will only protect against splinters in case the glass breaks. But if the children are very mobile, this can happen with a high probability, so such a safety net will not hurt. In addition, at the same time you can get a couple more bonuses:

• Burglary protection. Depending on the thickness of the film, it is able to withstand more or less significant shock loads;
• Glass tinting to limit the access of sunlight to the room.

You can stick the film with your own hands, it will last for several years, after which it can be removed completely or replaced.

Lattice

This is not about forged or cast-iron gratings, which are usually put on windows in country houses or on the first floors of apartment buildings from robbers. And about the special bars on the windows from falling out of children. They come in standard sizes and are manufactured in the factory, like plastic windows themselves.

Advantages of "children's" gratings

If you are accustomed to keeping the windows wide open in the summer and airing the room daily in the winter, the protective grille will fully ensure the safety of the child in the apartment.

We have energy-saving windows with UV protection, and in the summer we just try not to open them. But maybe someone will need this information.

• The grille is made in the form of rods vertically located in the frame, therefore the baby will not be able to climb up it. And the distance between the bars is such that the hand will not get stuck in it, and the head will not crawl through.
• The standard grate height is one meter. Just enough to prevent a fall.

• The product is painted white, so it practically does not disturb the exterior of the house, without standing out against the background of frames of the same color.
• It does not interfere with the installation of mosquito nets and is easily removed when the window needs to be washed or the need to use it passes.

Installation Features

Reliable protection against falling out is provided not only by the strength of the steel grating itself, but also by the quality of installation. It is attached from the outside of the window to the brackets: two openings on the side slope and two more attachment points are located on the frame. At the same time, it does not have to be drilled through, but only to the internal metal profile.

I have heard the opinion more than once that if there is a mosquito net in the window, this is quite enough to ensure the safety of children. So forget it, it's not like that! Our cat flew out into the street with her, to say nothing of the child.

Locks

It is difficult to think of something more reliable against accidental or intentional opening of a window than a lock. Of course, provided that the child does not know where the key to it lies. For plastic windows, several varieties of such locks have been invented.

Handle with lock

In appearance, these are ordinary handles, only with a lock cylinder. To install them, you do not need to change anything in the design of windows, drill them, etc. Window handles with protection are simply installed instead of the standard ones, in their place.

And there are different types:

• Handles for windows with a swivel mechanism can fix the sash in the closed position;
• If the window has a tilt-and-turn mechanism, it is better to install a handle on it with the function of fixing the sash both in the closed position and in the mode.

The method is very reliable because without a key it is impossible to change the position of the sash, and not only from the inside, but also from the outside in case of a hacking attempt. However, I don't like it for several reasons:

• Somehow it is dreary - every time to take the key to ventilate the room or close the window;
• I can simply forget where I put it (old age is not a joy). Or forget to turn it in the lock once again. Or leave the key in it.

One thing pleases: if you put handles on windows with child protection of the same model on all windows, the keys will be exactly the same and suitable for each lock. Everyone won't get lost.

The installation of these mechanisms is extremely simple, you can handle it yourself. And you need to choose a model taking into account the thickness of the double-glazed window and the length of the pin. To do this, they dismantle the old handle, measure how long the pin is, and buy a new one with the same parameters.

Sash lock

This is a more functional device, since the lock in the closed position blocks only the full opening of the sash, but does not interfere with moving it to the folding position for ventilation. And some models, equipped with durable flexible ones, allow you to slightly open the window in a rotary mode, but to a safe distance limited by the length of this cable.

I liked other models more, which are attached to the lower edge of the sash, and the counterpart for them to the frame. They are almost invisible, do not interfere, do not attract attention. But the protection against opening is complete, only the folding mechanism can be used.

The only disadvantage of such devices is that self-tapping screws screwed into a metal profile are used for their installation. But they do not affect the operation of the mechanisms and the tightness of the window, so no big deal.

By the way, locks can also be installed on wooden frames. The main thing is that they fit in the gap between the sash and the window sill. This requires only 2-3 centimeters, depending on the model.

Other ways to protect

You can also consider other interesting solutions with which the window will become safe for children of any age. For example:

• Detachable handle with plug-socket. True, it is only suitable for windows with a swivel mechanism, without a hinged one. After closing the sash, the handle is removed, and the hole from the pin is closed with a plug.

• All kinds of latches, with which the ajar sash is held in a predetermined position. Not the most reliable option, as sooner or later the child will understand how to deal with them.

• For sliding windows on the balcony, there are also devices that do not allow them to be opened to their full width. These are limiters that are glued to the glass using double-sided Velcro. Moreover, you can choose a limiter that will not allow you to move the frames apart until you dismantle it, which is completely inconvenient. I prefer butterfly blockers for sliding structures. With the “wings” open, they do not interfere with the movement of the wings, and when folded, they securely fix them at the selected mark. Since a child can tear them off the glass, the instructions require that such blockers be installed at a sufficient height.

From my own experience, I can say that Velcro will not hold well if the place of its gluing is not degreased.

Finally

As a very advanced and modern grandmother, I do not climb with advice on upbringing in a young family. In their apartment, let parents think for themselves about the safety of their child. But the jitters are still present, since there is the fifth floor, and the baby has entered the most inquisitive age.

If you want to express gratitude, add a clarification or objection, ask the author something - add a comment or say thanks!

Child locks for plastic windows are a very effective way to protect your children from falling out. With the advent of PVC structures, this issue became especially acute, so many manufacturers began to offer their customers various options for how to protect children from tragic consequences. Next, we consider the key nuances of this issue.

Protection from children on plastic windows is, of course, an important aspect, but first of all, you should pay attention to some preventive calculations. To protect your child from dire consequences, attention should be paid to all possible aspects.

The main thing that experts advise is to abandon mosquito nets. Of course, they save your home from all kinds of insects, but they have one feature that can play a cruel joke. Often, small (and not quite) children try to lean on a mosquito net, sometimes even leaning on it. However, this matter is very weak and it simply cannot withstand the weight of even a one-year-old child. The consequences that could be are clear to everyone.

However, you can do otherwise - purchase a more durable model (be sure to consult with the seller and, if possible, test it), which will have an additional stiffening frame and a more powerful mount. This design will cost a substantial amount, but you can protect the child from the window. Even if he can bypass all the protective mechanisms and open the doors, he will not be able to fall out.

If you do not have a mosquito net, we strongly recommend installing a grill on the outside of the opening. In this case, there are two options - a solid canvas (for the entire perimeter), which will protect the room from apartment thieves, or installing a grille only on the lower half of the window. Of course, the first method is the best option, as it provides additional protection.

If you do not have the opportunity to purchase window caps from children or other elements (so far this market niche is poorly occupied and such accessories are not sold in all cities), or you are waiting for them to arrive, there is a simple method - unscrew the handles. This can be done in 1 minute - just turn the plug 90 degrees and unscrew the two screws. Remove the handle when you leave the house, and the children will no longer be able to open the doors.

Never place furniture next to the window opening on which the child can lean and climb onto the windowsill (tables, sofas, cabinets, etc.). Often children decide to climb to the very top of your home and look out the window, and this can be fraught with consequences. If you have a half grate installed, then the child can overcome it by standing on a hill.

Restriction lock with cable

PenKid is a very functional device that prevents the frame from opening completely, due to a special cable. It can also be used for balcony doors, window vents and other types of structures.

The kit includes a cable (standard length 200 mm), an overlay, a zinc case for the lock mechanism, a key, self-tapping screws necessary to assemble the structure.

This simple device is designed in such a way that the sash can be fully opened only with a key. It performs the following important functions:

• Protection of the window (and not only) from the penetration of thieves. An attempt to open the frame will not succeed. The cable is very strong and human strength is definitely not enough to break it. There is, of course, the option that the thief will be thoughtful and take some kind of cutting tool with him, but this is hard to believe. In addition, there is no such defense that would be impossible to overcome. In any case, additional security regarding hacking is provided.
• Comb-type sash fixation. It is possible to regulate the opening. The main thing is to ensure that the child under no circumstances could crawl between the sash and the frame.
• Possibility of use on any type of structures (not only PVC, but aluminum and wood).
• The cable is made of steel and is able to withstand loads up to 550 kg. Thus, even if ten children fall on the frame at the same time, the protection will easily withstand and will not allow it to open.

There is such a limiter on the window in the range of 1120-1150 rubles.

Another analogue is the opening limiter

Kit and approximate mounting scheme

The product from the British company Jackloc is popular all over the world (in Foggy Albion it is the most popular product in this segment, and the British know a lot about safety). The principle of operation is the same as that of the previous model.

Important! Such accessories should not be installed on broken, rusty windows with any defects. They can fail at any moment.

The set of this device is the same as that of its counterpart, but with the presence of special decorative plugs (they can be matched to match the window structure). It can be used on any type of material. This device costs a little more - within 1250 rubles.

Installation of this device is extremely simple, but in some cases there are problems. Therefore, consider a step-by-step instruction (it is also suitable for the previous model):

• We plan a place for installing the lock element. It is desirable that it be placed just above the handle itself.
• Armed with a screwdriver, we fasten the pad with a lock to the screws (required from the kit).

Tip: since PVC has a tendency to melt, it is recommended to work at low speeds. Otherwise, the integrity of the thread may be violated.

• Next, we outline a place for installing a cable with a block, that is, on the frame itself. At the same time, it is desirable that this element be located strictly on the same line with the main mechanism (which we installed earlier).
• We fasten it to the remaining two screws.
• We install decorative overlays on both elements. Before buying, keep in mind that they may have a different design, so choose according to the design of your window (door).
• We insert the key and turn it (set the "Open" mode).
• We place the end of the cable in the corresponding hole and close the lock.
• We check the result - we try to open the sash, making every effort. According to the manufacturer's warranty, such devices are able to withstand efforts up to half a ton. Therefore, with proper installation, you will not be able to open the frame. If you succeeded, then most likely the product is defective, or you did not completely close the lock.

If some points are not clear, this video instruction will help you figure it out.

Baby Safe Lock

BSL is a product from Ukrainian manufacturers. It can be used on any type of structures and materials. This is a more affordable analogue of Roto, which costs several times cheaper.

The kit includes: a lock with a mating part, linings (selected according to the type of construction), special screws, installation instructions (not always, only when buying from official dealers).

This window (or door) blocker is characterized by the following features:

• Full protection of children from falling out.
• Allows you to fully ventilate the room with a fully closed locking mechanism. This property foreshadowed its popularity in children's institutions, hospitals and even in some enterprises (where windows cannot be opened).
• Allows you to protect your home from burglary.
• You can use one key for blockers throughout the house - this will save you a headache and the need to carry a whole bunch with you.
• It does not depend on the available fittings and its quality.
• Pretty simple setup.

Despite its simplicity, some people have problems with installation (especially if we are talking about a person without the appropriate skills). Therefore, we present to your attention detailed installation instructions:

• We install the lower part of the locking mechanism in the lower part of the frame (which opens). It must be installed opposite the hinges using two self-tapping screws (required from the kit). At this stage, you may need a screwdriver (small). Screwing occurs through milled holes.

Important! This part must be installed with a countersunk hole and in such a way that it is flush with the plastic base of the frame.

• Next, close the sash. Through the longitudinal holes in the lock we make markings with a lead. It is necessary to designate the places where the reciprocal part of the lock will be fixed.
• Then we fasten it with the help of the remaining two screws to the frame itself. This element has a strictly symmetrical outline, so its placement does not imply any special requirements.
• We install a decorative lining.

If something remains incomprehensible - this video instruction will help you figure it out.

Repair companies will charge at least 1000 rubles for installing such an element, so it makes sense to do it yourself.

As you can see, nothing complicated. To fully open the sash, just insert the key into the well. There is such protection for windows for children within 450 rubles (the price may vary depending on the type of lining and the number of keys). Perhaps the only drawback of this device is that it cannot be dismantled. Therefore, it will remain forever (at least as long as the window construction is “alive”).

Preventing doors from opening

Another equally effective way is childproof window handles. Such devices simply will not allow your child to open the sash until you are at home. However, there is always the possibility that you simply forget to close it. Therefore, we strongly recommend using such accessories in tandem with any of the technologies listed above.

The principle of operation is extremely simple - a device with a lock is installed in place of an ordinary handle. It allows you to fix the handle in the "closed" or "ventilation" position. It is impossible to change it without using the key. Thus, you can safely leave the sashes in the ventilation mode, even when small children are at home.

Such devices have the following functions:

• Absolute blocking of the movement of fittings from the outside (from the street). This greatly increases security - burglars will not be able to open the window from the outside.
• Blocking the opening of the window even if it is damaged. Even if the intruders break the double-glazed window (which, by the way, is quite difficult), a surprise awaits them - they will not be able to turn the handle and open the window.
• And most importantly - small children will not be able to open the window (or balcony door). In order not to tempt fate, keep the key in a place inaccessible to them.

This device has many variations, but in any case, to install it, you will have to perform the same procedure. Consider step by step:

1. We find the overlay around the handle and open it. To do this, you need to tuck it with a knife.
2. Rotate it 90 degrees.
3. As a result, we will get access to 2 screws, due to which the handle is held.
4. Armed with a Phillips screwdriver, completely unscrew them.
5. Carefully pull out the structure.
6. We insert new handles for windows with a lock. When choosing, please note that the hole does not always have standard sizes.
7. Tighten the included screws.
8. We check the performance of the new element and, if necessary, make adjustments by tightening the bolts. It is necessary to completely eliminate backlash. Otherwise, the handle will loosen very quickly and may jam at one fine moment.

Here you can see the installation process visually.

What should be safe windows for children? These are structures that they cannot open on their own. If they succeeded, then there should be additional security guarantees. Therefore, we strongly recommend using all possible protection methods (bollards, bars, handles, etc.).

Every parent tries to ensure the safety of his child, especially if he is at a young age (from one to six). For this, special protection is applied to sockets, handles are removed from the boxes, and baby window locks. This is a necessary precaution that provides peace of mind to adults and can save the life and health of a child.

Mosquito nets are not included in the list of protective devices and this must be understood. It is highly not recommended to leave the window wide open in a room where there is a small child, and hope that the mosquito net will be able to withstand the baby if something happens. She can't even handle a cat, much less a child.

An open window is considered the most dangerous element. You can catch a cold, a sore throat, or even worse - fall out into the street. That is why, when changing windows or waiting for replenishment in the family, adults are obliged to think about possible situations and their consequences. Window guards, child locks on windows don't look too flashy, don't cost sky-high prices, and are affordable for everyone.

The modern market offers a huge variety of devices called "window locks from children". They may look like

• door and window stoppers;
• plowing limiters;
• sash retainers;
• window blockers.

Installing child locks on windows does not mean at all that all windows will be permanently closed and fresh air will not enter the room.

It will simply be impossible to open the windows wide open without a special key, which will be held by adults. There are also options that allow you to open the sash, but to a certain extent.

Almost all window locks are completely reliable. Even the efforts of the baby and logic will not work in this case.

Child safety locks on windows - what is it?

Term "Child safety locks on windows"- the conditional name of locks, which in their essence are latches, blockers and limiters of door and window sashes, the purpose of which is to make windows safe. Having bought security locks, you will be able to freely open the window, but will not let it swing open completely.

Our online store specializes in retail sales high-quality child locks for windows: with a cable, overhead, with a cylinder. Wide range of child safety window protection will allow you to choose exactly what you need.

Application of security locks

Blockers on windows in cottages, houses, dachas

Window safety from children

Window security is an important means of ensuring a peaceful life, which protects against the entry of ill-wishers into the house, and is also a reliable tool that protects children from accidental falling out.

All parents try to provide as much as possible more convenient and safe conditions for themselves and the child. In this regard, the need to create reliable systems in private or multi-apartment buildings when using a loggia or window takes a leading position. Window locks-blockers will become faithful helpers during the absence of parents in the house and protect the child from emergencies. Thanks to such locks, parents can not worry about their household.

The child lock function limits the full opening of the window, while allowing air to enter to ventilate the room. And you can completely block the window. In both cases, the child will not be able to unlock the windows in the horizontal direction, which will protect against possible falling out. Even when the parents are at home and the room needs to be ventilated, you can safely open the window with a lock-blocker. In this case, oxygen will enter from the outside, and the child will be protected.

Security entry into the premises (hacking)

Metal-plastic windows cannot provide 100% protection against burglary, because they are easy to open even for non-professionals. And the special skills of thieves can easily open even complex structures. In this regard, the question arises of how to protect your fortress and leave it for a few hours, days or months. Especially residents of private houses, the first floors of multi-storey apartments and summer residents are at greater risk. It is never known what will happen to the house by the arrival of the owners and its contents. Locks blocking the window with special fittings will provide reliable protection from the side of the window. Our store offers services for the installation of these locks. Having installed them once and for all, you no longer have to worry about the security of your home by forensic experts.

Window locks with blocking anti-burglary installation have been widely used throughout the world for a long time. Especially foreign countries are familiar with this technology for a sufficient time. Window restraints have recently spread in Russia. As practice shows, "children's" window locks are effective and easy to use. In addition, they meet safety requirements. They are perfect for the interior, without spoiling the design of the apartment.

From the outside, they also do not stand out from ordinary locks, but they perform their protective function with high quality. Modern design technologies allow you to install on windows of any type, while leaving the beautiful view of the window intact. Very easy to use.

According to statistics, window hacking occurs in a very short period of time: up to 15 seconds. This time is enough for the thief to open the window and enter the apartment. Moreover, many windows open with the help of a conventional mount or improvised means. No one is safe from intruders, so it is better to play it safe and be more confident when a house is left without tenants, even for a short period. Even when installing iron doors, there is a possibility of breaking from the side of the window. Therefore, this issue needs to be taken more seriously.

The task of window stops with a blocking function is to detain burglars as long as possible and make it difficult to enter the premises. Not every thief will dare to break a window, as this creates additional problems: sound, noise, fragments, loss of time, attracting the attention of passers-by. This is not good for thieves. As a rule, residents of the first floors install bars on the windows. Of course, this is also a means of protection against ill-wishers, but for the residents themselves it is a real problem. This is a prison view from inside the apartment, and expensive fittings. The way out of the situation is to install locks for windows.

Safe windows in hotels

The hotel business is, of course, good. Today there are even prospects for the development of this direction. However, it is necessary to take care of the safety of residents. European countries have been using this technology for a long time. Locks installed on windows guarantee the safety of guests in the hotel from suicidal falling out, unauthorized theft of precious things, accidental lunging of children and other unforeseen circumstances. After all, in which case the owner of the business will have to answer for all this. Nobody wants problems. In this regard, it is necessary to take care of the protection of visitors to hotels and hostels in advance. In addition, it saves electricity in the summer. A window opening limiter or blocker is a really good helper for both guests and the owner of the business.

As a rule, hotels and hotels choose restrictive locks with a flexible cable. Thanks to him, the guests will not be able to open the window to its full width, but will easily ventilate the room. Cable locks are the best way to secure the windows of the entire hotel.

Child safety from falling out of the window

Every businessman in this area must, first of all, be sure of the safety of his visitors. This makes it possible to calmly conduct business, without thinking about the likely adverse consequences. Today there is a great opportunity to establish blocking locks BSL or Penkid that will provide residents with a safe internal routine. Some guests may disregard the rules of the hotel, and open the windows wide open even on the upper floors, without thinking about the danger. BSL restrictors retain their "ventilation" function, but still remain completely secure. Therefore, locks of this type are in great demand both abroad and in Russia.

Compliance with the internal rules of the hotel guests

Unfortunately, many guests do not understand the importance of internal regulations, neglect them or completely forget them. Smoking in the room, throwing garbage out of the window, taking selfies on window sills with an open window on the upper floors of the building is not a complete list of possible risks for the hotel. These violations entail fines, and sometimes bringing the owners of the hotel complex to responsibility. No hotel is immune from such behavior of guests. There are also risks from the outside: the penetration of thieves through the windows. Little children who strive to see what is outside the window. Then you have to be responsible for the consequences and rake up what cannot be changed. Therefore, it is better to protect your business from such situations in advance, because every hotel runs the risk of getting into it 24 hours a day. Managers cannot control what happens inside the room.

Our store offers BSL and Penkid locks conforming to European style standard. Therefore, they are the most convenient to use, install, and guarantee the reliability of windows of any type. They can aesthetically fit into any interior, hardly noticeable to others. Proven in practice limiters have shown good results in protecting the home. Modern technologies will ensure the safety of things and jewelry at home. Attackers will not be able to open windows with such features.

Window locks for kindergartens and schools

Cable-type locks, such as Penkid, BSL Cable, are widely used in educational institutions. That is where they are needed in the first place. They will help ensure the safety of children at the highest level. They can be installed in schools, hospitals, social institutions, dormitories, universities, kindergartens and other public institutions most at risk of people falling out of windows.

Recommended window and door stoppers BSL or Penkyd and where people with psychological disabilities live, prone to depression and various kinds of disorders. It is they who, according to statistics, can take suicidal actions by falling from multi-story buildings. Block locks will help protect people from possible life-threatening cases. Usually, roller shutters are installed from such cases. However, they may not always help. Of course, they solve the issue of security at the highest level, but at a cost such pleasure is not affordable for people on a limited budget. In addition, there is also a psychological aspect of these iron bars. They will create a feeling of a prison look that will oppress the tenants themselves.

Window blockers for banks and offices

Everyone knows that banks are a favorite place for thieves. Therefore, they need protection from unauthorized entry more than others. Often banks are located on the first floors. This lures thieves of all stripes even more. Every business owner wants to be sure of the safety of property and money in his institution. Metal-plastic windows cannot provide 100% protection against burglary, because they are easy to open even for non-professionals. And the special skills of thieves can easily open even complex metal-plastic structures. In this regard, the question arises of how to protect the bank from unauthorized hacking.

From the outside, they also do not stand out from ordinary locks, but they perform their protective function with high quality. Modern design technologies allow you to install on windows of any type, while leaving the beautiful view of the window intact. According to statistics, window hacking occurs in a very short period of time: up to 15 seconds. This time is enough for the thief to open the window. Moreover, many windows open with the help of a conventional mount or improvised means. No one is safe from intruders, so it's best to play it safe and be more confident when no one is left in the building. Even when installing iron doors, there is a possibility of breaking from the side of the window. Therefore, this issue needs to be taken more seriously.

The task of locks with a blocking function is to delay the robbers as long as possible and make it difficult to enter the premises. Not every thief will dare to break a window, as this creates additional problems: sound, noise, fragments, loss of time, attracting the attention of passers-by. This is not good for thieves. And even installing a roller shutter is not a solution to security problems. This is a prison view from the inside, and expensive fittings. Window locks from our store are a panacea for solving these problems.

Metal-plastic windows cannot provide 100% protection against burglary, because they are easy to open even for non-professionals. And the special skills of thieves can easily open even complex metal-plastic structures. In this regard, the question arises of how to protect your business from such a scourge.

What types of window locks are sold in Russia?

The modern market and manufacturers offer many options that even lead to confusion.

At the moment, there are several types of glass protection from children, namely:

Handle with key and lock

A special handle with a lock is one of the most sought after products. They look the same as ordinary products, but have an additional lockable sash. They can be ordered initially if you purchase new metal melting windows. If you already have everything installed, it’s worth it, just change the standard version to the one that performs a protective function.

The mechanism of action can be varied. Some fix the sash only in the closed position, while others allow you to put the window in the "ventilation" mode.

It is not advisable to completely close the window with a key, because fresh air will not enter the apartment. This fact will negatively affect not only the health of the baby, but also the well-being of all residents. It is better to choose a tilt-and-turn option. After you have closed the window with a key, try to put the key away where the children cannot get it. But you should not put it in a chest, which will be removed to the top shelf in the pantry. Constantly running after the keys to ventilate the room is not very convenient and fun.

When installing similar locks and changing all the handles in the windows in the house, the keys are the same (that is, you only need one). In addition, in case of loss, there will be many duplicates.

Before proceeding with the purchase and installation, it is worth removing the old handle, see how long the pin is. It is a model with identical parameters that will fit your double-glazed window.

Security lock on the sash

The lock on the sash is another common type. This latch blocks the full opening of the window, but does not affect its setting in the ventilation mode. Mounted to the edge of the sash and frame.

Some models even allow you to open the window to a certain position (by 25%). To do this, they are equipped with a special limiter. They are attached to the middle part of the frame and sash.

For sliding balcony windows, a push-button latch-blocker is used. This device does not allow the doors to be opened to the full width. Installing the devices is very easy - using double-sided tape. The adult himself determines to what position the window is allowed to open. It is better to install such window blockers at the very top so that the baby does not reach out and cannot tear them off.

Restriction lock with cable or opening limiter- very comfortable and functional devices. A special and very strong cable allows you to open the window up to a certain distance (10-25%). You can also freely set the window for ventilation.

Anti-vandal film does not act as a limiter or retainer. This is glass protection in its purest form. This is especially true if the apartment or house has panoramic windows. Kids love to lean against them, hit the glass with a toy, which is why additional safety net is needed. The film is able to protect the baby from splinters in case the glass breaks. It withstands quite large shock loads, so it will become an additional protection against burglary.

Having decided to buy a blocker for a window, initially study their characteristics and features. Get acquainted with how it works, read reviews on the Internet from experienced parents, consult with competent specialists. You can't just go to the market and buy a castle. It may simply not fit (in the case of a handle-lock) or be of poor quality (fake). It is best to pay attention to all aspects.

In addition to all these methods of protection, parents should be extremely careful. You should not put a sofa, armchair, bed or table close to the windowsill, leave the windows wide open and leave the crumbs alone, put it on the windowsill “look out the window” on your own and do other things that are fraught with consequences.

Installation advantages child locks on windows:

1. Such designs can limit your child's access to opening windows, which will prevent the possibility of accidents and childhood injuries.
2. They can be installed on any type of modern window, and some types can also be mounted on simple wooden windows.
3. Due to the variety of locking devices, their small size, as well as various colors, window blockers can fit aesthetically into your window decor without depriving the room of ventilation.
4. Window locks protect the apartment from intrusions of strangers through the window.
5. Easy to install and convenient to operate.

Thus, purchasing is a great opportunity to protect your child from accidental injury or even injury by limiting his access to opening the window. However, at the same time, the baby retains the right to freely ventilate his room and enjoy the beauty of the street, but only behind a securely closed frame!
Take care of your children, be happy and healthy!

In order for the child to be insured against accidental falling out of the opening, special protection is provided for plastic windows from children. It consists of different types of devices and can be installed both during the manufacture of profile structures and during their operation. Most protective elements are inexpensive and fairly easy to install. This article will tell you which devices you need to order immediately when buying windows, and what you can install on your own a little later.

Main risks for children

Some adults think that it is enough to protect the most problematic area on the windows (active sashes), and the child will be safe. This is absolutely wrong, since child protection on windows should be comprehensive. This is the only way to ensure that the baby is protected from many troubles:

1. Falling out of the window- the most serious risk, because it is fraught with the most dangerous consequences. Aggravating the problem is the regularity factor, since such events with children on unsecured windows happen most often.


2. Shrapnel injuries from broken glass- although the likelihood of such an incident is significantly lower, this does not reduce the degree of danger to the child.


3. Striking a suddenly open or drafty window- these risks are given little attention, and yet they can cause injuries of varying severity. A sharply jerked sash can severely hurt a child and even cause a fracture.


4. Hitting the sharp edges of the window sill- this stationary structural element is also dangerous. Especially in cases where the window is covered with curtains and curtains. The child does not see the protruding part of the window sill and may hit the protruding corner.

That is why it is necessary to eliminate any risks in the window opening area.

The basic configuration of windows does not provide for devices to protect children, so in any case, the design will need to be improved. To eliminate all the risks discussed in the previous section, you will need:

• unbreakable double-glazed windows;
• complete restriction of access to the light openings behind the active doors;
• the possibility of blocking fittings;
• lack of sharp protrusions on window structures.

Only such comprehensive child protection on windows can be considered effective. To implement the project today, all the necessary devices are available, so adults simply need to order their installation in the manufacture of windows.

Child safety window devices

To ensure child safety, the most effective devices are those that prevent the child from opening the sash wide open. Any blocker for opening a window at the request of adults limits the functionality of the fittings. Thanks to this, children, even without supervision, will be safe. Such devices have compact dimensions and look neat, so that their installation does not impair the aesthetics of windows. At the moment, leaf opening blockers are presented on the market in several modifications.

Window handle with lock

A simple and effective window lock for children - a window handle with a lock. The operation of such a device is extremely simple. After turning the key, the mechanism is blocked and does not allow turning the handle. That is, the lock actually locks the window sash.

The advantages of such a protective mechanism:

• does not require additional space for installation, as it is installed in place of a conventional handle;
• able to fix the sash in the reclined position during ventilation;
• compatible with almost all window models;
• does not allow changing the position of the active leaf without a key;
• additionally protects the window from burglary from the outside;
• quickly installed.

This security system has 2 conditional drawbacks - adults either lose the key or forget it in the pen. That is, such a blocker requires constant attention from parents. It doesn't have any other major downsides.

Handle with button

This is a simplified analogue of a handle with a lock. Such a device allows you to block the mechanism on the sash after pressing the button. It is much more convenient than its counterpart, as it functions without keys. To activate / deactivate it, just press the button. No risk of losing or forgetting the key saves adults a lot of time. However, in this case, the plus quickly becomes a minus - the children too quickly learn the secret of the device, after which they are able to independently unlock the active sash. The danger is that parents may not know at what point the child learned to open the window on his own, and still leave him unattended for a long time.

To fix the sash, use a special device that is attached next to it and limits its course. Such a wrap changes its position and is fixed with a key. Thanks to this, the sash lock does not allow children to open the windows at will. The advantages of this device are partially similar to those of a handle with a lock:

• easy to install;
• makes it difficult to burglary from the side of the street;
• ease of operation.

The main disadvantage of blockers is that they have limited functionality and do not allow the doors to be folded back for ventilation. In addition, rotary locks complicate the procedure for opening the sash. As with handles with locks, these models are characterized by problems with losing and leaving keys in the wells.

Such a child lock on the window is installed in the lower part of the structure - under the active sash. He does not allow her to swing wide open, but allows her to lean back for ventilation in a vertical plane. This position of the sash is considered generally safe for the child, so it can be left alone in the room without supervision. Castles have several advantages:

• allow you to ventilate the premises at any time;
• almost invisible on the window
• quickly mounted without the involvement of a specialist.

Apart from the traditional problems with keys, there are practically no drawbacks to such devices. If one of the parents considers it dangerous to freely tilt the sash for ventilation, it is better to choose another type of protection.

This simple device is quite effective, since it deprives the child of any opportunity to open the sash without adult control. Such blockers from children are not installed on the windows, but, on the contrary, are removed. That is, for a while, until there is no one in the room from adults,. A child without supervision, with all the desire, will not open the window. Then, at any time, it is promptly returned to its original place. When removing and installing the handle, you do not need to unscrew or screw anything. Such devices have only one drawback, but it is serious - it is inconvenient to carry a pen with you all the time, as well as every time to follow it to a secret place.

This type of protection is recommended to be used in cases where the windows open only in one rotary mode. In order to ventilate the premises without risk to the child, it is necessary to limit the opening width of the sash. To do this, a special cable is installed in the middle part of the window, which is attached to the sash and frame profiles. Such a device can also be installed on a window or balcony door. The length of the cable allows you to only slightly open the sash. The width of the resulting gap is quite enough for ventilation, but not enough for the child to pass through the ajar window. Cable-based blockers have advantages traditional for devices of this type and individual advantages:

• additional protection against hacking;
• compatibility with all types of windows;
• the ability to set the opening angle of the sash at your discretion.

Like all other lockable locks, cables have a standard drawback - adults lose or forget to get the keys out of the lock. In addition, such devices are best used with a comb, which will prevent a draft from slamming the sash. If you refuse insurance, an open window at any time can pinch your fingers or cause more serious injury. The comb in such cases must be installed in the upper zone of the profile structure so that the child cannot reach it.

Mortise lock

Such blockers resemble ordinary furniture locks. They crash into the active leaf and, when the key is turned, completely block it from moving in any of the planes.

This is a simple and effective protection for all occasions, but it also has disadvantages:

• when closed, the device does not allow airing the room even by tilting the sash in a vertical plane;
• difficulties arise when installing the lock, since it is required to make cuts directly in the sash and frame profiles.

The disadvantages of such blockers were the reason for the refusal to use them. Instead, handles with locks are actively installed, which are easier to install and have advanced functionality.

Comparison table of child safety devices

Blockers are different from each other, so safe windows for children are equipped taking into account several factors. To choose the optimal device, it is recommended to study the table with a comparison of the main characteristics.

Device	Up to what age of the child can be used	Does it work with other blockers?	Can it be installed on existing windows	Price, rub.)
Window handle with lock	With no restrictions	+	+	385 to 6875
Window handle with button	Up to 2.5-3 years	+	+	250
	* Up to 7-10 years	+	+	195 to 890
	* Up to 7-10 years	+	+	530

Mortise lock	With no restrictions	+	+	200

* Note: theoretically, all window latches from children with a limit of up to 7-10 years can be used for longer, but in practice, a grown child is able to unscrew the fixing screws from the profile.

Comparison of child safety devices of different brands

Handles, locks and other types of devices for protecting children from falling out of windows are represented on the Russian market by products of different brands: Elementis, Roto, Vorne, Internika, Giesse.

Italian Giesse hardware is in demand not only in Europe, but also in the USA, the Middle East and even China.

Do-it-yourself child safety device installation on windows

An additional advantage of modern blockers for opening active doors is that you can not invite specialists for their installation. Such child protection on PVC windows is installed on its own. For this, basic skills in handling the tool are enough, and the editing algorithm itself is extremely simple.

Installing a handle with a lock

Before carrying out the event, it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the double-glazed windows in the windows, since the length of the pin depends on this parameter. To determine it, it is best to remove the old handle and measure the pin, and then put the device back into place again until new locks with a lock are purchased. The process of replacing one handle with another consists of the following steps:

1. Completely close the active sash.
2. Slightly bend the plate covering the fixing screws towards you and turn it 90 degrees.
3. Unscrew the screws with a screwdriver or screwdriver.
4. Take out the old pen.
5. Insert a new model with a lock into the vacant slot, and its position should be the same as the previous handle.
6. Screw in the screws.
7. Return the plate to its original position.

A similar technique is applicable for plug-in models with a plug socket. The only difference is that in some models the second screw can be hidden behind a decorative curtain.

Installation of movable limiters (cables)

To install the cable, it is not necessary to dismantle any elements of the front fittings. This window blocker can be immediately attached to profile structures:

Since, for reliability, it is recommended to install a comb (ventilation limiter) in tandem with a cable, it is logical to immediately study the algorithm for its installation:

1. In the upper part of the sash, which is inaccessible to children, screw the latch onto the active sash with self-tapping screws. This must be done so that the cylinder goes beyond the profile, otherwise the comb will have nothing to catch on.
2. Mark a place for the comb on the frame - it should be at the same level with the lock.
3. Screw the comb and check the operation of the device.

On sale there are combs that are installed next to the handle. They have a metal retainer attached in a special way. It is screwed together with the handle with the same screws, so you need to be careful when buying. If you install such a model at the top, the aesthetics of the windows will deteriorate.

Whenever the sash opens for ventilation, it is imperative to fix the limiter. You can’t be lazy or forget to do this, because only in this way can you completely protect the child when using the locking cable.

Installation of a plowing blocker with a ventilation function

Installation of the device is practically not difficult. To install this type of blocker, it is enough to screw in 4 self-tapping screws. The installation procedure is performed in the following sequence:

1. Open the active sash and mark the location of the element with the lock on its lower end part. The body of the blocker must neither protrude nor be too recessed inward. Screw the blocker to the sash.
2. Lock the device with a striker with a key, close the sash and mark the frame through the holes in the body.
3. Open the lock.
4. Screw on the back plate.

After installation, it is not enough to check the reliability of the window blocking. You should also make sure that the device does not interfere with the free opening of the sash.

Installing the twist lock

This blocker is the easiest to attach. It is enough to attach it to the frame in the “Closed” position from the bottom or side of the sash, mark and screw it with 2 self-tapping screws. Then insert decorative caps and check.

All blocking devices on frames and sashes are screwed to the reinforcement inside the profile. This must be taken into account when determining the optimal length of the screws. Marking on profiles is performed at. Moreover, the diameter of the drill should be 1 mm less than the diameter of the self-tapping screws.

Additional security features

These means of protection, although called additional, must be provided for even when ordering windows. If necessary, you can install them later, but in this case it will be more difficult to do this.

Impact-resistant double-glazed windows

When ensuring child safety, safety glass is installed on the inside of the window structure. It is most rational to equip double-glazed windows with triplex, which, when broken, does not crumble and does not scatter in different directions. For active kids, this is the best safety option. Since double-glazed windows with triplex weigh 30-40% more than conventional models, it is necessary to immediately select fittings that can withstand increased loads.

If it is not possible to install double-glazed windows with triplex, you can paste over the windows with anti-vandal film. This technique is less effective, but still able to provide a basic level of protection. The main advantage of this method is that film pasting can be done at any convenient time.

Window sills with rounded corners

PVC window sills are cut from long panels. The standard model has a rectangular shape, but there are technologies that allow you to round the edges. You need to take care of this at the stage of ordering windows. However, for such window sills there are no rounded end strips. They are bent using an industrial hair dryer, so it is better to order artificial stone panels right away. Such window sills can be given any shape without the risk of impairing the aesthetics of the product. In addition, some custom-made artificial stone models have a dual purpose and can be used as a children's table, sofa or shelf.

Replacing double-glazed windows and window sills during the operation of windows significantly increases costs. In fact, the customer buys these structural elements twice. In addition, he additionally pays for the dismantling of old products and the installation of new ones. In order not to pay for the same thing twice, it is better to secure these areas of window structures immediately upon purchase, rather than postponing the event for later.

How effective are mosquito nets and window bars?

Sometimes parents think that since there are mosquito nets or bars on the windows, they can not install blockers and other protective elements. They are mistaken, because nets and bars are not designed to ensure children's safety and can only conditionally protect a child in some cases. This is clearly not enough to prevent accidents.

Mosquito net

The use of conventional models of mosquito nets is out of the question, since they are not even able to detain a small pet. The canvas and fasteners of such products were originally designed for minimal loads, therefore they are not suitable as a reliable barrier on the way from the window opening. Even the use of a reinforced mosquito net "Anti-cat" will not be able to stop a fast moving child.

Lattices

The strength of these structures is beyond doubt, but they have another drawback - a large distance between the bars. It allows small children to crawl between them without much difficulty and fall out of the window. If the distance between the bars is reduced to a completely safe distance, the grille will look too bulky and reduce the flow of daylight.

Fans who like to keep windows wide open in summer instead of traditional grilles in such cases are recommended to use special "children's" designs with a reduced distance between the bars. They are miniature lattices that are installed on the outside of the opening and reliably protect the baby from falling out.

Child protection on plastic windows should be installed without fail if there is a child in the house. Ideally, it is always desirable to set simple basic models to ensure security. For example, a handle with a lock can protect against burglary and give you peace of mind when friends or relatives with young children come to visit.
