In recent years, Keyless Window Restrictors have become a must-have for both private homeowners and landlords—particularly where child safety or rental compliance is a priority.
Surface-mounted restrictors are especially popular with landlords due to their durability and ease of installation (typically just four screws and you're done).
In contrast, concealed restrictors are often preferred by homeowners who want a more discreet look. However, these can be trickier to retrofit, as access to the window sash from the outside is sometimes required—making them less practical for upper-floor windows.
Before choosing your restrictor we recommend asking yourself two key questions:
Do you need to meet specific regulations?
For example: rental property safety requirements in your area.
Can you install the restrictor yourself?
If you're unsure, it's always safer to consult a qualified professional.
