Sturdy Window Locks

Everybody knows locking your doors is a smart idea, when you're talking home security (everybody knows; of course, that doesn't mean everybody does it), but people often forget about windows. 

Take a good look around your house from the outside.  Put yourself in the shoes of a burglar.  Think about your windows.  Do you see any open?  Are there any with loose or non-existent locks that would be easy to force open?  Don't think burglars are only going to try the front door.  A window, even a second story window, can offer them easy access. 

So, what do you do?  Make sure you have sturdy window locks.  This lock from Rocky Mountain Hardware is a good example.  The mini surface bolt is made from white bronze with solid metal parts and is available in 6" or 10" lengths.  If properly installed, it would do a good job of keeping intruders out.

Of course, you'll want to shop for window locks that fit your home decor; just make sure to buy something sturdy instead of something decorative.  And make sure you lock your windows, as well as your doors, when you leave the house!
