Easy to install, the price isn’t too bad considering you get two of them. One concern I have that I have noticed others mention is the fact you only get one key with it. If you lose that one key you’re going to have issues that’s for sure.
The window locks as I mentioned come as a set of two, they have a sticky adhesive for easy installation, though you can attach them with screws as well if you want to be extra secure. Great for stopping a window or door opening more than you want which is good news for indoor cat owners.
Two chain locks with keys. Designed for windows but can be used in any area that restriction of opening is required.
Self adhesive, just peel and stick. Easy operation and chain allows for varying widths of openings. Price isn’t bad for two. Only concern is durability of adhesive in long term.
In my case I’m using this lock to prevent a window with a broken opening limiter from swinging open in the wind.
For this, even with only the sticky 3M pads, it’s working fine.
There is only 1 key included, and it’s a tiny suitcase-padlock-style key which could easily be lost.
I would very much not trust these for security, even with screws, I think anything larger than a medium sized pet pushing on the window could strip the screws out of the PVC, and if someone is intent on getting in, it will be the fixings that give first and not the chain or the lock.
That said, it depends what you wish to use it for. High security? No. Useful, though? Definitely.
Another use example… put it on the food cupboard to stop your pet from prying the door open. I have a goldfish, so she’s not likely to do that, but our cat on the other hand…
Got this as I like having the bathroom window open but can’t let the cat outside, my mainecoon is a indoor cat so being able to keep him inside is a must, this lock stops him from getting inside even when he trys with all his weight, I don’t know it will fare against a cat but does the job for me
Our property has a number of windows that are large and open outwards from the bottom. This is a worry for us as the little ones can climb up and out of the windows.
I have come across many types of windows restrictors and for me this type with a chain I do prefer. The other type I have got looks the same but uses a thick wire to act as the window limiter. The wire is bendy but does seem to get in the way at times.
The other type I have has a chain like this one but instead of a lock and key it has a two independent actions to unlock, a button press at the same time perform a slide action. It is this part that is more bulky that this version with the key. Our window frames are not that thick so they do slightly stick out.
The other reason for choosing the chain type is that you can vary the restriction opening by locking in a different link on the chain to get the desired max window opening. This feature I do like.
Having a key I feel is going to be a problem if you need to get out of the house quickly but did not leave the key in the lock as you were worried that your little one could open it or you loose the key while you took it out. You could go round unlocking these before you go to sleep but this seems a hard task to keep remembering to do.
The 4 star rating is only due to the concerns I have with the key rather than anything wrong with the way the product provides the restriction.
This lock is great value ( at just shy of 6). It comes with 3M sticky pads and also screws if you want to secure it with those using a drill. My key works perfectly in the lock. At the side of the lock part there is a window and you just poke the link of chain that you require into it and lock it and a bar comes up to hold the link through its hole. The sticky pads can be removed using a hairdryer, leaving no difficult to remove adhesive which is great for using in rental properties or where you don’t want to keep the lock over the longer term. The lock can be used to scure windows, patio door or cupboard and wardrobe doors. I’m using this lock to restrict how far a kitchen window can be opened.
I got these to stop the windows opening too wide or being blown open by the wind. For this purpose they are absolutely fine but, if you are looking to stop break-ins, I would suggest something more robust. Only one key is supplied, which is disappointing as it will inevitably go missing and the chain is thin but, for the price, it is acceptable.
Easy to install and can be affixed quickly by screws or adhesive backing. It should be secure if for child or pet purposes. I think with a solid hit from an adult it might be forced open but it serves as much as a deterrent and a second level of security. Would have been nice to have two keys.
My bedroom window’s lock has aged and broken off over the course of a good few years so this has served as a good replacement.
I had some issues with the key at first but it seems something inside has settled and now it works fine, so no complaints (now) but would advise you to give that a thorough check before doing anything with it.
The locks stick onto the window and frame by a decently strong adhesive that has no problems holding on to my older frames, and the chain holds the window firm. We’ve been having strong winds that have been slowly (or quickly, sometimes) opening the window but as of this moment it’s holding fast and no longer moving, so it’s doing the job it’s intended for.
I would recommend this item, but again check the key first. 🙂
I really want to give this 5 stars, but I had to knock off one star because the picture shows a white item, which would match the UPVC windows I have. Unfortunately, it is grey. It’s really not worth sending it back as it will do the job whatever the colour, and it works very well. It is easy to fix on the window and is ideal in stopping my pup jumping out when it’s open. So, all in all, I can recommend this to anyone thinking of getting one.
Use these for the kitchen window so we can stop the room steaming up but we have a kitten who’s not able to go outside yet so these are amazing. Easy to install and so easy to use.
A nice pair of window locks in the style of a door chain.
Locks are robust and the chain sturdy. Whether this is enough to stop a determined burglar or one armed with bolt cutters I doubt but any extra security is a good thing. And where window locks are a little fragile this could be extra peace of mind.
Love the fact that this can be simply stuck on with the self-adhesive pads that are already on the item, or drilled and screwed for a firmer hold. Whether you wanna use this for its intended purpose, or as an extra layer of security when you leave your windows ajar at night, this product’s got you covered.
Supplied with adhesive pads so very easy to fit but I think you would also want to use the supplied screws to ensure a more secure fitting.
Supplied with just one key which is a shame.
It allows thw indow to open quite a way although it is still narrow enough for security. With a bit of faffing around you could reduce the opening if you so wished.
I have fitted other window restrictors in the past and, although some people have claimed it is possible to fit them from inside I hade to use a ladder to fit the outer part of the restrictor. This device is much easier to fit and can be done completely from thre inside.
This set of 2 window locks come in a Christmas themed box with keys, fixings and a thank you card.
On the back of the item there is some prefitted 3M tape for fixing or alternatively there are screws supplied.
These window locks are much easier to use than my others. All you do is push a chain link into the hole and turn the key to lock it into place. 5 stars.
We don’t have children but we have cats! that like to try getting out onto the upper window ledge, having a way to restrict how far the window opens is perfect for us.
And that’s what this window latch does, via a metal loop chain you can choose how far open to have your window up to about 16-17cm maximum.
Simple 3m sticky pads, they’re thin so it stops the latch moving around and feels more like a permanent attachment, although they supply a pack of screws if you prefer to make them properly fixed in place ie wooden door frames.
Don’t confuse these with security locks, they are not strong enough to prevent an intrusion, but they will stop accidental opening of windows for whatever reason.
The individual link ends are joined so they won’t pull apart, the key is very generic and only one of them.
