Window security comes from certified standards rather than vague claims. The right hardware, glazing, locking and certification combine to deliver windows that resist forced entry through the methods used in residential burglaries.
Every Homeefe window includes multi-point locking, internally-beaded glazing, TS 007 cylinder hardware and PAS 24 certification available across the range. Installation is FENSA-registered across an 80 km radius of our Rushden showroom.
Our windows include the following security features as standard or as available upgrades:
The combination delivers residential security significantly better than older single-glazed or 1990s double-glazed windows.
UK window security uses several established certification standards:
PAS 24:2022
PAS 24 is the UK product assurance specification for enhanced security on windows and doors. The standard:
PAS 24 certification adds typically 5 to 15% to the window cost and delivers verified residential security spec.
TS 007 (Technical Specification 007) is the British Standard for residential locking cylinders. The 3-Star rating:
The 3-Star rating is the highest tested level. Older windows often have 1-Star or 2-Star cylinders that are more vulnerable to attack.
Secured by Design (SBD) is the UK Police-led national crime prevention initiative for residential properties. SBD-approved windows:
SBD certification typically adds 10 to 20% to the window cost and delivers the highest UK residential security spec available.
Multi-point hook locking is the core security mechanism on modern windows. The system:
Older windows typically have single-point latch mechanisms that are significantly easier to force open than modern multi-point systems.
The glazing beads holding the sealed glass unit in the frame can be fitted either externally or internally:
Every Homeefe window comes with internally-beaded glazing as standard. This removes one of the common entry methods used in residential burglaries.
For ground-floor windows and accessible locations, laminated security glass options include:
Laminated security glass holds together when broken, preventing reach-through attacks where burglars break the glass to reach an internal handle or lock. This is one of the most common entry methods on accessible windows.
Each frame material handles security slightly differently:
The operating action and weight of a multi-point locking system are easier to appreciate in person. Our Rushden showroom has full-size secure window samples with the locking mechanisms set up so you can try the operation before deciding on the spec.

Homeefe offers a range of window security features, including multi-point locking, internally beaded glazing, lockable handles, reinforced frames and security glass options. Enhanced security specifications may also be available for homeowners who want extra protection on ground-floor windows, accessible side elevations or windows near flat roofs and extensions.
PAS 24 is a UK security standard used to test windows and doors against common forced entry methods. It looks at the complete product, including the frame, locks, glazing and hardware, rather than one individual component. PAS 24-certified windows can be useful for new builds, security-focused upgrades and homes where enhanced protection is a priority.
TS 007 is a security standard for lock cylinders used in residential doors and related hardware. A 3-Star rating is designed to offer higher resistance against common attack methods such as snapping, drilling, picking and bumping. Where cylinder-based locking is used, choosing high-security hardware can improve the overall security specification.
Secured by Design is a UK police-backed crime prevention initiative that promotes security standards for homes and buildings. Windows and doors that meet Secured by Design requirements are tested to recognised security standards. This type of specification can be useful for homeowners who want additional reassurance around home security.
Yes. Multi-point locking can improve window security because it secures the opening sash at several points around the frame rather than relying on a single latch. This helps spread the holding force more evenly and can make the window more resistant to levering or forced opening than older single-point locking designs.
Laminated security glass can be a good choice for ground-floor windows, side windows, windows facing alleys and any glazing that is easy to reach from outside. If broken, laminated glass is designed to hold together more effectively than standard glass, helping to reduce the risk of reach-through attacks and improving overall window security.
Yes. Useful safety and security features for households with children include lockable handles, opening restrictors, tilt and turn window options and toughened safety glass where appropriate. These features can help control how far a window opens, reduce accidental opening and improve safety in bedrooms, upper floors and family spaces.
Secure windows may help with home insurance in some cases, but this depends on your insurer, policy and property risk profile. Some insurers may ask about locking systems, laminated glass or recognised security standards. It is best to check directly with your insurance provider before assuming that any specific window security upgrade will reduce your premium.
