sliding windows

Post by further »

Hi all, the aluminium sliding side windows seem to be a soft target to being jimmied easily.
I've noticed quite a few frames being bent on vans next to the inside catch. Any ideas on how to make the catch
more secure, would be much appreciated. thanks :)

I've heard of people cutting lengths of wood and dropping them in the slot to prevent the window sliding. Then just remove it when you want to open it. That's the only thing I've heard of though. If someone really wants to get in there's not a lot you can do about it unfortunately....

Yep, theres wood in mine too. Does work. A triangular profile is actually the best solution I found.
