  • Will the WinLock window restrictor work with my windows?

    The high performance WinLock restrictor can be fitted to all window and door materials and styles with several options of fixings and anchorage when installing the lock body and the fixed plate. Assessment and correct choice and methods of screw or bolt fixings is paramount for safety/security, with due consideration to the type of materials, ie. Timber, steel, aluminium, UPVC, and window or door configuration, i.e side hung / top hung casement, tilt/turn, sliding, etc.

    Each installation project must be surveyed and evaluated prior to fixing the winLock window restrictor to determine the appropriate fixings/anchorage and of the designated restricted opening.

    The WinLock restrictor MUST NOT be fitted to areas of decaying timber, corroding steel or units that are in disrepair.

    • Frequently check the WinLock window restrictor's body fixings by manually identifying any excessive movement of the screw fixings. Should there be excessive play, remove the plastic cover caps and screws. Access the failure of the fixings and refit appropriate screws/bolts, etc. In some instances, die tap back plates and screws may have to be used. Refit caps.
    • Check the anchorage of the linkage into the lock body and fixed plate by pulling the cable manually. If there is excessive movement of the cable within the anchored body, replace the complete linkage with new.
