Security Hinges: Today security is a present concern for most homeowners. Over 40% of forced entries to a property are through downstairs, rear casement windows. And with the ever increasing rate of household burglaries, the need for better window security is greater than ever. County Windows can replace and upgrade the hinges to special security hinges, which give greater protection against an attack on the hinge side of the window.

Locking handles: All types allow the handles to be locked on the inside of the window when out of the house. When fitted together with the security hinges the combined strength and locking properties offer an almost impregnable line of defense against burglary.

Fire escape hinges: In the event of an emergency when speed is vital for safely exiting a burning building, these fire escape hinges allow an easier exit with the ability to open the window at 90 degrees.

Locking bars for Patio doors: A visual deterrent to would-be intruders. The concept is simple. In principle, a metal bar which hangs unobtrusively from a socket joint when not in use, can be lifted and clipped into a neat socket fixed to the sliding pane, thus rendering the slider immobile.

Toughened safety glass: guarantees high degree of safety by its excellent impact strength and thermal resistance. Its high degree of strength decreases the possibility of breakage. Even if broken, it breaks into small particles that can minimise personal injuries.

Laminated safety glass: Two sheets of glass sandwiched either side of a clear plastic resin - which bonds them together. If something strikes the glass, it may well break, but the interlayer will not be penetrated, preventing the object going through the pane. It will also hold the broken glass in place so that there are no sharp or protruding edges to hurt you or your family.

Door Chains / Spy holes in panels: Door Chains enable you to see and talk to the visitor before you decide whether to let them in, it is best to use a door chain together with a peep hole in the door at the correct height.
