Timber locking system transforms security

Country Hardwood has unveiled a new 5-point wrap-around locking system for its range of bespoke timber windows, which the company claims has set a new standard in home security.

According to Country Hardware, the system represents a ‘significant advancement’ in timber window security for larger windows, featuring a unique combination of locks that completely encircle the window frame.

Unlike generic window systems commonly used in the market, the design provides comprehensive protection throughout the whole window with a 5-point locking mechanism, making it entirely unique in the industry. The system has successfully undergone full PAS24 security testing.

“Security is paramount for homeowners, and installers need complete confidence in the products they’re fitting,” explained Mark Osborne, managing director of Country Hardwood. “Our new 5-point wrap-around locking system delivers that assurance, adding industry-leading security without compromising the aesthetics our timber products are known for.

“Instead of using standard window locks on larger windows, we’ve created our own unique window system that homeowners can trust to protect their homes.”

Based in Buckinghamshire, Country Hardwood is said to ‘consistently push’ boundaries in product development, with a recent £700,000 investment in CNC machinery demonstrating a commitment to combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques.
