Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 We have been using the thumb screws/locks for years. Their purpose is for added security to your windows, you can also set them to where your windows can only be opened so far. They are awesome!

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Thanks everyone for the window thumbscrew idea. These attach without a drill and can be removed with pliers (or a Hercules grip). I would also like to recommend push button door locks, mine are made by Unican but several companies now make them. I have a friend who's daughter installed the number coded type on the outside of her bedroom door to keep her brother out.These are so much easier than the double keyed locks and the combinations can be changed or you can have different ones for different people.
