The safety of your child is, of course, always paramount. Windows can be inspiring for children when they first understand how to open them. But this can also be very dangerous. We, therefore, show you what is essential when it comes to child safety devices for windows.
In our checklist, we give you essential buying criteria and have selected suitable product recommendations for you.
- Windows are dangerous for children as soon as they know how to open them.
- With childproof window locks you can make your home childproof.
- You prevent unnoticed opening by your child and avoid accidents that can result from it.
- Window locks can also be used for balcony and terrace doors.
- The easiest way to secure a closed or tilted window is to replace the original handles with lockable window handles. In this case, burglary protection is provided at the same time.
- However, lockable handles can prove to be less practical in everyday life when windows are opened frequently. Handles with a locking button are the better choice here.
- Another option is an extra lock that can be mounted or glued to the window frame.
- A cable or a latch provides for the blocking of the window.
- This variant is available with and without a key.
- There are also window locks that can be mounted as an additional component in the window handle or clamped or stretched between the handle and the frame. These models do not require screwing or gluing.
- In a rented apartment, it is usually not allowed to drill into the window frame.
- However, replacing the window handles with lockable ones is almost always possible.
- In the case of glued variants, you must observe the manufacturer’s age specification. They are often only suitable for children up to 36 months.
- The requirement for a window child safety lock is specified in the EN16281 standard. So the product should be tested according to this standard and have the GS seal for Tested Safety.
