Window fittings of different burglary protection classes
Window fittings are available in different burglary protection classes. The standard class consists of two mushroom-head locks, which offer solid basic security. Then there is the enhanced burglary protection (RC1) with four mushroom-head locks on all four corners of the window. This burglary protection class also includes lockable window handles.
The best-protected window fittings belong to the burglary protection class RC2. They have even more mushroom heads, the number of which depends on the size of the window. Naturally, these windows also have lockable window handles. Additionally, windows of this burglar-resistant class are equipped with special thermal insulation glazing. Such secure window fittings are highly recommended for basement and ground-floor windows.
Maintenance of Window Fittings
To ensure the longevity of window fittings, they should be cleaned regularly – about once a year – and treated with a suitable maintenance oil without acid or resin. A brush can be used to oil the mushroom heads; about two to three drops of oil per mushroom head are usually sufficient. The window handle should be moved while oiling the mushroom heads.
