"Children's lock" on windows - protects not only children

Spring and summer are a time of particular concern for parents of young children. After all, when everyone opens their windows to the sun and fresh air, they must ensure that the sashes are securely closed. Otherwise there will be trouble! How can you keep track of an active and inquisitive baby who is drawn to the window like a magnet! Parents can't do without helpers! And the “children’s castle” becomes such a reliable assistant.

"Children's Castle" is not a toy!

Although these devices have the definition of “children’s” in their name, they are serious things. These are real window fasteners.

Therefore, adults became the main consumers of such structures. They highly value the capabilities and purpose of devices that protect children by not allowing them to be near an open window. After all, the existing mosquito net is not fixed to the frame and easily falls out as soon as the baby leans on it. And the worst thing is that along with the net there is a child outside the window.

Important! According to updated data, in 2018 alone in Russia, 905 children fell out of an open window.

"Children's Castle" is a real opportunity to reduce the statistics of tragedies. It does not allow you to open the sash and does not leave you alone with a light and unreliable barrier in the form of a mosquito net.

Types of "children's castles"

You can make your window safe using different types of fastenings.

In the pen

The lock can be located directly in the window handle.But without a key, the child will no longer open it on his own.

The locks in the handle have two positions. The frame can be closed or open for ventilation. Unfortunately, the possibility of micro-ventilation is not provided by the manufacturers.

For the convenience of users, many creators of pens with locks produce them with universal keys. Parents do not have to carry multiple keys to close windows in different rooms.

Type of locks in the handle - keyless structures. In the "closed" position the handle is locked by a button. It eliminates the need to carry a key with you. But it makes children want to use the button themselves. And while the little ones may not have enough strength to do it, then as the kids get older the button may become more accessible.

Handles with locks practically do not change the design and appearance of the window. They are easy to install and reliable to use.

On the sash

Locks installed on the sash are another type of “child locks”. You can find two types of blockers on sale:

• mortise;
• invoices.

They differ not only in the installation method, but also in appearance. Mortise locks are less noticeable; only a small keyhole is visible.

The overhead lock has a special lock, small, not conspicuous, but still visible.

Locks on the sash allow it to be installed in different modes: closed/open, ventilation, including micro-ventilation. But even when ventilated, the lock holds the sash in a safe position.

On a wire

The simplest type of “child locks” are devices on a cable. It connects two parts that are installed on different elements of window structures.A strong cable becomes a limiter that prevents the child from opening the window wide.

Reference. If you have the tools and experience working with them, you can install all “child locks” yourself.

Who does the "children's castle" protect?

Although today we spoke specifically about the protection of children, Such designs are useful not only in families where children are growing up.

Pet owners are another category that needs them. On a hot day, pets often like to sit near an open window, on the windowsill. Through the mosquito net, not only coolness penetrates here, but also dog barking, cats meowing, and birds chirping. And the smells! There are so many attractive things on the street that you want to take a closer look at or smell! One awkward move, and your pet ends up on the street... And the blocker can protect you from this.

But even for families where there are no children or animals, such devices can be useful: they make the windows more protected from penetration from the street. A window equipped with any type of lock is more difficult to open. Therefore, there are many cases when owners of apartments or country houses notice traces of unwanted guests who did not bother with their windows. They preferred to leave in search of a more accessible door that did not yet have a child lock installed.
