NO-GO 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.
‘Makes you wonder why noone had thought of it earlier’
David saw how distressing these incidents
were for the householders concerned and
gave the problem some serious thought
before he developed the concept of the NoGo Glass Lock. Like most of the best ideas,
the concept is a simple enough one. One of
those products that make you wonder why
no-one 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 a specially developed bonder.
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 virtually 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 shatters the inner glass pane. To
remove the glass completely the intruder
needs to break the outer pane and climb
through – a big deterrent.
It is important that the correct installation
procedures are closely followed, but
Phil Brown, the company’s technical
consultant, has made this easy with an
on-line video tutorial and an instruction
manual downloadable from the website

For security professionals who have
not yet discovered the advantages of
these products, they are well worth
