Double-hung windows are most often found in older Cleveland homes; while they’re classic and versatile, they’re also the most vulnerable to break-ins. Double-hung windows have two panes of vertically mounted glass. They’re usually secured with a crescent latch. If your double-hung windows have warped over time or your latches have been painted over, your double-hung windows aren’t very secure. Drilling and pinning is a good solution, but it means you won’t be able to open your windows. Always leave one ground-floor window available as a “fire escape.”
Zen Windows says: Replacement double-hung windows can increase your safety.
Casement windows are hinged on the side or at the top and swing outward. Burglars tend to reach in and try to crank the window open enough to gain entry. If your window hardware is strong, it should prevent easy entry.
Zen Windows says: If your casement windows are aluminum, you should consider upgrading to fiberglass or vinyl replacement casement windows, which can stand up to intruders.
Burglars avoid breaking glass when possible because the noise can alert the entire neighborhood. Security bars, grates, or wire mesh will add security to any window but can be visually unappealing in residential areas.
Zen Windows says: The best way to make your windows burglar-proof while allowing light and ventilation is to install strong, safe glass.
