Window Latches: Types and How to Choose
Windows are one of the most important home improvement elements. They let us embrace our surroundings, provide ample air and natural light, and come in a range of designs to seamlessly meld into the rest of the interior and exterior features of your home. When fitted with the appropriate locks and latches, they ensure ease of use, protection against gusts, and security from intruders.
Most Australian homes are fitted with casement, awning, single or double-hung windows and simple locks or latches that attach the window to the casement or frame. These security features allow quick ventilation in hot summers and keep out draughts when colder weather hits. However, if your window latch casement is loose or damaged, you risk property theft or damage. To keep loved ones safe, and your belongings where they should be, consider timely replacement of worn latches and locks.
