Window and security

"I want to be well protected"

If MILLET windows are already well-equipped for security as standard, many options are available to further enhance the safety of your home.

Whether it's about protecting users or safeguarding against break-ins, here’s a quick overview of the solutions available to you.

FOCUS
ON SECURITY AND PROTECTION POINTS

LOCKING MECHANISMS

Depending on the range or type of closure chosen, the hardware varies. The corner transmission system ensures smoother opening, while the adjustable rollers enhance compression. Tilt-and-turn frames with mushroom-shaped rollers provide greater resistance to break-ins. Additionally, secondary sashes without handles can be optionally fitted with a lever-operated espagnolette featuring upper and lower corner drives (photo 1).

Securing the children's bedroom
On upper floors, with young children, it's best to secure window openings.

  • Key-locking handle (photo 2) : it prevents the window from being opened.
  • Key-locking handle + inverted espagnolette: Available only on tilt-and-turn frames, this option locks the opening system in the tilt position, the French opening position is accessible only with the key. This is the ideal system, as it allows ventilation for everyone without the risk of falling.

Note that in our PVC ranges, when metal reinforcements are present in the profiles, the resistance to striker plate pull-out is increased since they are attached to these reinforcements..

GLAZING

Protection of property and people :
To prevent the risk of cuts from broken glass, you can opt for tempered glass.
To prevent accidental falls, laminated glass (type 44.2, see the glazing page) is an ideal protection. In the case of a glass railing, the glazing must either be laminated on both sides or have a laminated exterior face and a tempered interior face.

The goal is to make the burglar's task more difficult with laminated glass featuring multiple resin films. Combined with locking options, the SP510 glazing provides an excellent defense barrier (see the glazing page).

ROLLER SHUTTERS

Serving as the first barrier against intrusions, roller shutters are a key element of the protection system. Motorized shutters offer many advantages:

  • Equipped with an anti-lift system for the slats, roller shutters enhance security.
  • In the radio-controlled version with a remote, you can simulate your presence by programming a specific mode that activates the opening and closing at variable times.
  • Stay connected even remotely with our home automation solutions (see the roller shutters page).
