ᐅ How would you assess the burglary resistance of the following windows?

I think he meant "BEFORE the retrofit." The mention of lockable handles is also a good point; it’s an easy and affordable solution that can be combined well with others.

Mushroom cam locks only protect the closed window—and even then, only in areas where a burglar can’t quietly use a glass cutter to reach the handle. Even if a tilted window is meant to stay tilted, the mushroom cams don’t engage. The local police often advise on where to combine which methods.

The windows in your photos definitely look like they are worth retrofitting to achieve effective security improvements.

But I only worked briefly in a window factory, never as a burglar ;-)

In the condition shown in the photos; NO.

Have you watched the videos?

No, not yet. We thought these locks might already be fairly secure?

The problem is simply this: retrofitting mushroom cam locks on each window sash is supposed to cost 300 euros. The house has a lot of windows, which is good, but the retrofit would alone cost us 3,300 euros on the ground floor. And the windows are 23 years old.

It is still relatively simple... if we are talking about pure plastic profiles without steel reinforcement and only a few dowels... I have just dealt with this topic myself... there is also a fairly long thread about it...

Do you have a link to that thread?

The issue is simply this: retrofitting the mushroom-head locks for each window sash would cost 300 euros. The house has quite a lot of windows, which is good, but the retrofitting alone would cost us 3300 euros just on the ground floor. And the windows are 23 years old.

And then you probably only have RC2N.

In your place, I would install additional locks instead of the mushroom-head locks. This is cheaper but possibly offers equivalent protection.
