Window Restrictors

Window restrictors are the invisible guardian angels preventing your curious toddler from becoming a very unfortunate statistic. They’re crucial safety devices that limit how far windows can open. And that provides essential fall prevention while still promoting adequate ventilation. For many, window restrictor units are window child locks. They allow controlled window opening of about 100 millimetres, which is sufficient to let fresh air in but small enough to prevent tiny children’s heads from passing through. It’s especially crucial if you’re in an upper-floor living space.

Modern restrictors come in different configurations, like surface-mounted cable systems and integrated stay restrictors. You can also see key-operated security variants like window restrictor locks, which allow full window opening when required while defaulting to restricted position. These devices balance robust restriction capabilities with override functionality (for effortless cleaning and quick emergency egress).

At Locks & Handles, our extensive product range includes entire systems (like those from Winlock) and specific components (like the window safety catches from Mila and VERSA). And if you’re looking for credible window child safety locks, we offer Yale. We have quality retrofit solutions too for existing (and often dated) windows. Rest assured our offerings meet different regulatory standards, including those specific to healthcare facilities.
