Home security matters now more than ever, and one of the simplest ways to strengthen your property is by upgrading the windows and doors that form the first line of defence. At Fairco, security is not an optional extra but an integral part of every product we design and install. Robust materials, considered engineering and carefully chosen hardware combine to ensure your new windows and doors protect what matters most while complementing the look and comfort of your home.
Advanced multi-point locking: your primary defence
Traditional doors and windows often rely on a single locking point, which can leave other areas of the frame vulnerable. Fairco products use modern multi-point locking systems to spread the locking action across the full height or width of the unit. When the handle is lifted on a Fairco door, multiple hooks, bolts or rollers engage into reinforced frame pockets, creating a secure, even seal that is significantly harder to force. This engineered rigidity not only improves security but also enhances weather resistance and long-term performance.
How lift-to-lock works in everyday use
The operation of Fairco’s lift-to-lock systems is deliberately straightforward. After closing the door, lifting the handle engages every locking point along the edge; turning the key then secures the mechanism in place. This small sequence ensures the door sits correctly in its frame, maintains its weather seal and provides maximum resistance to attempted entry. Windows fitted with equivalent multi-point hardware operate on the same principle: fully closing and engaging the handle allows each locking element to function exactly as intended, delivering consistent protection with minimal effort.
The role of good habits in keeping your home secure
Even the strongest hardware performs best when supported by sensible daily routines. Fully closing and locking windows and doors rather than leaving them merely pushed shut is a simple but effective habit. Avoid leaving keys in external locks overnight or when you are away, and ensure that potential access points, such as small side windows, flat roofs or secondary entrances, are secured with equal care. These small actions reduce opportunity and make your property a less attractive target for opportunistic intrusion.
Additional home security options for enhanced protection
For homeowners seeking extra reassurance, Fairco offers a range of optional security enhancements that work seamlessly with our doors and windows. Laminated security glass combines bonded layers that hold together if shattered, slowing an intruder and maintaining a barrier even after impact. Reinforced frames increase the structural strength around locking points, while security-rated handles and upgraded cylinders provide resistance to tampering techniques such as snapping or drilling. Many customers also choose to integrate alarms, sensors or smart-home security systems to create a layered defence strategy that covers both physical and electronic protection.
Home security and peace of mind, working together
Fairco’s approach to security pairs high-quality hardware with design and installation, delivering protection that lasts. Strong windows and doors are an important deterrent in their own right, but when combined with everyday best practices and optional upgrades, they form a comprehensive security solution. The outcome is confidence in a home that feels safer, more resilient and better protected against intruders, day and night.
