• There are different types of window locks and the most basic of them is the one that prevents the window from opening. This is a good option but there are also locks that ensure that the window does not open further thana few centimeters. This allows for ventilation and it is a secure alternative too.

• Another familiar accident is a car lockout. It is common for babies or toddlers to play with car keys and accidently lock themselves in while parents decide to step out for a second. Always ensure that the windows are rolled down and you have a set of spare keys at home.

• The front door of the home is the most dangerous point if a child can access and open the locks easily. A residential locksmith can install a half deadbolt that is high enough, this way the lock can be opened only by an adult from the inside and not from the outside. Alternately use a pin to prevent a sliding door from opening easily.

• A simple cam lock is the best way to keep away inquisitive toddlers from opening kitchen cabinets. It operates with a flat key, which again should be kept out of their reach.

Investing in good quality locks ensures their longevity and the safety of the children and home all the time.
