Been round the garage to put a new set of plugs in, change oil & filter and fit a new phase sensor.

When I finished up I locked up and checked over everything and noticed this,





It must have been done over the last 2 weeks. Must invest in some more security.

Any suggestions anyone? some sort of an internal lock for a UPVC window?

or should I buy some sort of contact for an alarm?

Suppose I am lucky they did not get in, were they disturbed or could they not get in?

Bast$rds.......

i think you where very lucky, that dg is externally beaded,ie remove the plastic bead,and the glass comes out.

Need to get some bars up I think.

I agree, very lucky!! We've got that glass at work and had a pane replaced recently, chap comes along and had the glass out in about 30 seconds without even needing to open the window

The only way to properly secure it would be some kind of metal shutter or bars bolted inside the frame.....

and if you are insured, get the window changed.

Milkybar Kid

i used to fit windows for a living .

for god sake change the windows an like someone said above it only takes about 30 seconds got get the glass out so hurry up and change them or get bars fitted behind the window .

Ginge !

bars,,, no other way, stops people getting in and out and lets the light in

good news its kids who tried to break in though as anyone whos seen windows would have had them out in seconds

Wrought iron bars? how much is that gonna set me back?

Another option would be to stick the glass to the frame. Take out the beads, then fit some double sided foam to the inside face of the glass, where it meets the frame. Makes it a cunt to get out unless you can get inside to run a knife around.

As above, it would have been a piece of piss to take the glass out the frame so its a good job they didnt know what they were doing.

Get some big fuck off bars up is my suggestion.

you only need some box section with some welded plates on the end to bolt into the wall

cheap as anything really

tabetha

As above a lot cheaper than a missing car, makes a visible put off deterant also.

mike im goin to start building my own garage shortly and i am not goin to put any windows in it ,i would block the window up mate and just use lights inside instead as most of the time we use our garage at nights anyway

yappstar

Brick it up or get some bars.
Made some for a lad round near me recently, charged Ł50.

Dog is a shit idea imo, they may be a deterrant if seen, but if they are soft as shite they wont be all that much use, and you dont want 2 nasty rotties, trust me.

or just get the windows to open inwards and then put a quick release bar across the gap so that you can't remove it unless you are inside (and old bike brake cable set up so it's far enough away from the wall not to be able to reach even through a broken window) etc

If you're interested I could get some bars sorted for your windows...pm me with some measurements and I'll see what I can do.

Ok mate will measure up tomorrow when I finish work, its dark now

i used to work for a large window company who only deals with insurance and externally glazed upvc is glazed in two ways 1.a compression gasket on the inside that you have to remove before you remove the outer bead these are great when the windows are new and the gasket is plump then the sun shrinks it and the beads can sometimes be removed not good 2.the glass is stuck in on a thick foam double sided tape and the glass cannot be remove without breaking it. so the solution bin the gasket use the tape and go to b&q or other and get some insurance approved sach jammers they screw to your window and twist over the frame fit one 100mm from the top of the sach and one 100mm from the bottom

the other thing you could do is deglaze the sach and screw through the profile into the frame fixing the window shut

Box is only really a visual deterrant unless its very thick walled as you could just quietly hacksaw through it.

Solid bar is the way to go, they are going to need power tools then, or nitrogen and a hammer of course, lol

yappstar

also worth mentioning to fasten it to the wall with shear nuts

B16JUS

thats a great idea but only down side they wont know and still fuck the window up trying
