"The thieves' raspberry" blossomed! "- the words of this song can be considered a reminder of the unfavorable and ubiquitous criminal situation. If you do not protect your own living space in time - windows and doors of an apartment or house, you can stay without means of subsistence. Unprotected windows become allies and complicit in hacking.

As it became known from reliable sources
The annual statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirms that the greatest number of thefts of personal property are committed by criminals through penetration into the apartments through the windows of the first floors. For example, a plastic window of the basic configuration can be opened using an ordinary screwdriver in 15 seconds.
The existing ways to protect the windows of the first floors with the use of welded or forged gratings already largely do not suit the tenants. Suffice it to recall that at the present time thieves have an excellent command of the situation. They are well equipped with the means of monitoring the object and the tools necessary for breaking.
Therefore, it is just necessary to go "ahead of" the enemy and learn first all the subtleties of protecting windows from hacking. How to protect windows from undesirable hacking? To begin with, just study the technical capabilities of windows in the house, find out their "thin" places and begin to act decisively.
Against scrap there are tricks
Consider the outer and inner parts of the frames of plastic windows. The basic configuration of the PVC window is nothing special. Main sash, folding mechanism, cylinders with mushroom-shaped trunnion and handle.
Simple and affordable! The thieves are attracted precisely by the reliability of the main leaf, the rest is the matter of technology - the window is opened by lever breaking.
Therefore, it is preferable to purchase immediately a window equipped with anti-burglary kit. For example, anti-burglary fittings Roto.
Classes of anti-breaking windows
Recall that there are certain classes of anti-intrusion of windows. These are the classes WK1 / AhS, WK2 KF and WK3.
Anti-breaking class WK1 / AhS characterize the parameters:
• the corner doors and perimeter of the window are protected and reinforced with VS S-ES FH, VS S-ES, BS S-ES angular gears with mushroom shaped S-ES cylinders
• The set has a handle with a lock.
Angle elements are equipped with steel pins with height-adjustable heads, which carry out the operation of the protection mechanism.
Higher anti-breaking class WK2 KF It has:
• up to 8 lockable protection points
• The window is equipped with parallel-sliding and lifting-sliding mechanisms (accessories of PSK Portal and HS Portal)
• The number of locking elements to achieve a tight clamp is located along the entire perimeter of the window.
The principle of operation is based on the basic version of WK1, but the locking reinforced trunnions are located around the perimeter of the window, and their location is difficult to calculate.
In this class of protection is already steeper - projections and a flare edge in order to pick up the window frame with a screwdriver or "fomka" are absent.
And, finally, the WK3 class is equipped not only with basic anti-burglary trunnions, but also with locking scissors, the construction of which is seen in the open sash.
The rigid construction of the "scissors-windows" discourages the hunters from hunting at once. Here, except that the lost mouse can penetrate.
Window protection systems. Window-control gives good
The main actions for protecting windows are:
• anti-burglary fittings (trunnions and counter-strips)
• armored double-glazed windows
• protected glass
• handle with a key.
three trunnions and two locking laths
And now we will study in more detail the principle of operation of a trunnion and a locking bar.
The main element of the anti-burglary fittings is the mushroom-shaped trunnion. Special hooks on the bonnet in the closed state prevent the breaking of the lever. The mushroom-shaped trunnions work on engagement from both sides in the reciprocal anti-burglar bar.
The additional counter-current of the bar considerably strengthens the two locking bars.
And if these trunnions are 3-8 pcs, then the lever does not have just a chance and the burglar will be poking around until morning.
By the way, the most reliable loop group of anti-burglary hardware is one that is capable of withstanding loads of up to 100 kg. For example, accessories Titan AF.
box in body armor
In addition to installing anti-burglary fittings, it does not hurt to take care of protecting the glass itself. The most advantageous option is armored double-glazed windows with protected glass.
Anti-impact armored double-glazed windows have several degrees of protection. Armored glass of 1 degree of stability can withstand strikes from stones and sticks.
Glasses of the 2nd degree stability are resistant to stronger impacts, there are no openings for access or penetration on their surfaces. Shockproof glass 3 degrees they withstand strong blows and a bullet hit. In addition, the reinforcement of glasses is possible with the application of a special coating (film). Fragments obtained from striking on such a glass will be retained by the film.
The simplest kind of protection for windows from penetration are lock systems and handles with a key.
For this protective fittings, a special alloy plate is used as a countermeasure, which becomes in the way of drilling the handle.
A handle with turn-down protection or a handle with a button and a key is a primitive security measure that can be acted upon by disobedient children, but not by a savage cracker. The cracker last reaches for the pens to accidentally "do not inherit."
Let's summarize: effective hardware development from hacking provides a new format for the safety of windows made of metal-plastic, which is recommended to be installed in the near future.
Parable
Once in the Institute of Window Technology (believe me, such an institution really exists), it is located in Germany in the city of Rosenheim, a representative of the administration has arrived. It was a burning August day. In the vicinity of the Institute's residence it was deserted and hot. A representative of the administration ordered along the road leading to the Institute, planting trees that create a shadow.
"Mister! Trees should grow and find a solid crown in order to create shade and comfort, "- said someone.
"Then get to work as quickly as possible!"
