Why Window Locks Matter
Windows are the second most common entry point for residential burglaries, right behind doors. Across Los Angeles, ground-floor windows and easily reached second-floor windows without proper locking hardware are a consistent, and often overlooked, security gap.
We install and repair window locks on all standard window types throughout Greater Los Angeles, and a window lock check is often part of a broader home security assessment where we look at every entry point, not just the front door.
Types of Window Locks We Install
The right hardware depends on the window type and what you're trying to solve, whether that's basic security or controlling ventilation without leaving a window fully openable from outside.
- Keyed window locks, which require a key to open from inside — useful in rentals where you want ventilation control without an exterior weak point
- Sash locks, the standard cam-style latch on double-hung windows, often worn or easy to bypass on older frames
- Sliding window security pins and track blockers, secondary hardware that prevents a window from being forced along its track
- Casement window locks for crank-operated windows
- Security bars or grilles for windows that need maximum protection
Renters and Ground-Floor Units
Window security tends to get overlooked by renters and apartment dwellers, but ground-floor units are usually the most exposed. We install non-damaging secondary hardware that works within most rental agreements, so you're not stuck asking a landlord for a full window replacement.
For homeowners, we assess every accessible window on the property and recommend hardware suited to each one rather than applying the same fix everywhere. Call (310) 997-6304 to schedule a window security visit.
