GLASS WINDOW LOCKS - SIMPLE,
UNIQUE AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
The best inventions come from personal experience and it was through his previous jobs
both as a double glazing installer and later as a “window doctor” that David Murphy, founder
of No-Go Security Products, came up with his simple, unique but highly effective idea.
In the course of his work, David
had noticed how often he was being
called out to replace glazed units
that had been removed by intruders.
It wasn’t difficult to see how easy it
was for burglars to gain access to
a property fitted with unsecured
externally beaded PVCu double glazed
windows.
David saw how distressing these
incidents were for the householders
concerned and gave the problem some
serious thought before he developed the
concept of the No-Go Glass Lock.
Like most of the best ideas, the concept
is a simple enough one. One of those
products that make you wonder why noone had thought of it earlier, in fact.
No-Go Glass Window Locks, which
are manufactured in Oswaldtwistle,
Lancashire and are protected by patent,
consist of two parts. The lower base part
is bonded to the glass using an approved
specially developed bonderadhesive.
Once bonded correctly it is impossible
to separate the glass and the metal base.
A second ‘shim’ is screwed to the base
which locks around the window frame.
This shim is designed to fit anyvirtually
all window frame profiles.
With the panel locked to the frame in
at least two corners (but preferably all
four) it is not possible to remove the
panel without breaking the panel. This
requires considerable force, is likely to
make noise and leaves shattersed the
inner glass pane. To remove the glass
completely the intruder needs to break
the outer pane and climb through
which the intruder needs to climb – a big
deterrent.
It is important that the correct
installation procedures are closely
followed, but Phil Brown, the company’s
technical consultant, has made this easy
with an on-line video tutorial and an
instruction manual downloadable from
the website (www.nogosecurity.co.uk)
For security professionals who have
not yet discovered the advantages of
these products, they are well worth
investigating – call the trade enquiries

YOU HAVE FITTED SECURE
LOCKS BUT ARE THE WINDOWS
SIMPLY LIKE UNLOCKED
DOORS TO A BURGLAR?
Many homes have double glazed windows where the glass is
secured by a beading on the outside. This can easily be removed
and is one of the most common ways that burglars get in. Taking
out the glass is quick and makes no noise.
NO-GO GLASS LOCKS lock the glass into the frame so that the
glass cannot be removed without smashing the glass.
NO-GO GLASS LOCKS are designed to be easily fitted to existing
windows and are a very cost-effective way to make a property
even more secure.
NO-GO SECURITY PRODUCTS are looking for companies to sell
and install our NO-GO GLASS LOCKS. If you would like to expand
