Homeowners often ask about the security features of uPVC windows and doors — and rightly so. When it comes to protecting your home, choosing the right products can make a real difference.
At Hastings Windows, all of our uPVC windows and doors are designed with security as a top priority. Each one is fitted with a high-security multi-point locking system and internally beaded glazing, making it much more difficult for the glass to be removed from the outside.
What does this mean in practice?
Every casement window we manufacture comes with a shootbolt locking mechanism, key-locking handles, and hinge-side security claws — features that work together to resist forced entry and give you greater peace of mind.
We build all of our products in-house at our factory in St Leonards-on-Sea, so we know exactly what’s going into them and how they perform. With over 25 years of experience, we’ve developed a system that balances strength, style, and everyday usability.
If security is a concern, upgrading your windows and doors can provide valuable reassurance — and enhance your home’s comfort and energy efficiency at the same time.
