What is a Window Lock Mechanism?

A upvc window lock mechanism is the gearing part inside a window that’s driven by a handle. A window lock mechanism is a security device integrated into windows to prevent unauthorized access and enhance safety. Designed to physically obstruct the window’s movement, typical mechanisms include bolts, latches, or clamps.

Made from durable materials like metal or hardened plastic, these locks are usually an integral component of the window during its manufacture, ensuring seamless operation.

Regularly checking the functionality of window locks is crucial, especially for windows accessible from outside or on ground level, to maintain optimal security.
