GLASS WINDOW LOCKS - SIMPLE,
UNIQUE AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
The best inventions come from personal experience and it was through his previous jobs
both as a double glazing installer and later as a “window doctor” that David Murphy, founder
of No-Go Security Products, came up with his simple, unique but highly effective idea.
In the course of his work, David
had noticed how often he was being
called out to replace glazed units
that had been removed by intruders.
It wasn’t difficult to see how easy it
was for burglars to gain access to
a property fitted with unsecured
externally beaded PVCu double glazed
windows.
David saw how distressing these
incidents were for the householders

concept of the No-Go Glass Lock.

is a simple enough one. One of those
products that make you wonder why noone had thought of it earlier, in fact.
No-Go Glass Window Locks, which
are manufactured in Oswaldtwistle,
Lancashire and are protected by patent,
consist of two parts. The lower base part
is bonded to the glass using an approved
specially developed bonderadhesive.
Once bonded correctly it is impossible
to separate the glass and the metal base.
A second ‘shim’ is screwed to the base
which locks around the window frame.
This shim is designed to fit anyvirtually
all window frame profiles.
With the panel locked to the frame in
at least two corners (but preferably all
four) it is not possible to remove the
panel without breaking the panel. This
requires considerable force, is likely to
make noise and leaves shatte
