Simple & Effective Theft Deterrents for Omaha Replacement Windows

Fortunately, Anderson says effective theft deterrents can be as simple as jamming the opening. For instance, double-hung replacement windows in Omaha can be protected from unauthorized entry by driving a nail or screw where the two frames meet. It doesn’t have to be all the way through (otherwise, it may affect insulation); leave enough nail to remove it when you need to open the window.

Sliding windows can be prevented from opening by putting a wood block along the inside track of the opening pane. Basement windows—among the most likely places for thieves to break into a house—can be closed shut with special locks. If you really want to take it up a notch and prevent a literal break-in, consider getting break-resistant glass for Iowa windows.
