INSTALLING ANGELS
IS ‘NO BRAINER’
A device designed to prevent chil-
dren opening and falling from windows
has been endorsed by Adrian Barraclough,
chairman of window and door fabricator
and VS specialist Quickslide.
Adrian, a father of four including an
18-month-old boy, has backed Mighton’s
Angel Ventlock®. He was in the process of
reviewing his company’s hardware choices
when he decided to go public with his sup-
port for the Mighton designed and manufac-
tured product.
Originally designed for traditional sash
windows, the Angel Ventlock® is a low-cost,
easily fitted and highly effective device that
prevents children from opening windows
and so avoids the danger of falling. Yet win-
dows may still be easily opened by adults.
low-cost, easily fitted
‘ and
highly effective ’
Adrian says installing the product is a ‘no
brainer’ and that Quickslide will push its
customers to ensure they offer it to their
home-owner buyers where young children
obviously live in the property:
Mighton has sold hundreds of thousands
of Angel Ventlocks® to some of the largest
window companies in the world, including
market leaders in the United States.
