Thank you so much for posting this. I just realised that my indoor cat can probably open the handles I have so I’m going to replace them

Thanks, very useful and solved my problem of how to secure my kitchen window as the locking original system is broke beyond repair

[@21stcenturycaveman33]

You're very welcome! Note that you can also buy these items without an actual locking mechanism (i.e. without the key) which are a little cheaper. Depends on the level of security you need. ATB, Des

@@21stcenturycaveman33 Thx I ordered the lockable ones in the end

[@davidmarsden9800]

Des, not sure why you took off the original handles, surely it's more deterrent to leave them on as well.

[@21stcenturycaveman33]

Hiya David. The old handles were kaput. Some opened and some didn't. They nearly all had different keys - some had been lost. They were also of very poor quality and needed to go. Clean slate my friend. Des

If your screwing these into the pvc especially on a downstairs window of someone tried to pry a window open with these would they rip out pretty easy etc ??
