Ensuring your home’s security starts with strong, well-designed windows and doors. With 23% of burglaries occurring through first-floor windows, securing these entry points is crucial. In this article, we’ll explore how OKNOPLAST enhances the safety of its Tilt and turn windows and sliding patio doors through advanced locking systems, durable frames, and impact-resistant glazing. Discover how our innovative products provide peace of mind by making your home more secure and comfortable.
How to Make Tilt and Turn Windows More Secure?
Windows and sliding patio doors are common points of entry in home invasion crimes, with only about 9% of break-ins occurring through forced entry. That’s why investing in windows with robust security features is crucial.
At OKNOPLAST, we integrate several security measures to enhance window safety:
- Durable Frames: Our windows are crafted with reinforced, high-quality frames that resist bending or breaking, making it harder for intruders to gain access.
- Advanced Glazing Options: Strong glass is key to security. We offer tempered glass, known for its high impact resistance, along with other glazing options that balance security, energy efficiency, and style. For example, low-emission coatings boost both durability and energy savings. Our PAVA and PIXEL window systems meet hurricane resistance standards, offering extra protection against forced entry and extreme weather.
- Innovative Locking Systems: OKNOPLAST takes security further with advanced locking handles. Our HOPPE SECUFORTE handle is a Tilt and Turn system that provides both convenience and security. While it allows for flexible ventilation, it locks securely when the window is fully closed, offering strong protection against forced entry. This handle system is perfect for homes that prioritize both functionality and safety.
By combining durable frames, secure glazing, and innovative locking systems, OKNOPLAST windows provide comprehensive protection, offering homeowners peace of mind.
How Secure Are Sliding Patio Doors?
Sliding patio doors are often perceived as a security risk, but with the right design, they can be just as secure as windows or even front doors. At OKNOPLAST, we apply the same focus on durable frames, impact-resistant glazing, and advanced locking systems to our sliding patio doors.
Our sliding doors are equipped with RC2 class fittings, a European standard used to measure the security of windows, sliding doors, and front doors. The RC2 level means that our doors have undergone rigorous testing to withstand forced entry, ensuring a high level of protection and providing homeowners with peace of mind whether they’re home or away.
A key security feature is the easy-operating handle. Designed for smooth functionality, these handles lock securely when closed. The frames are reinforced with specially engineered steel, increasing strength and making it difficult for intruders to break through.
For enhanced protection, OKNOPLAST’s sliding patio doors feature multi-point locking systems and thermal breaks, which not only secure your home but also improve energy efficiency. Paired with impact-resistant glass, these features ensure year-round security and comfort.
Additionally, our sliding patio doors can be integrated with smart home systems, including alarms and sensors. These systems detect unauthorized attempts to open the doors and instantly alert homeowners, adding another layer of protection to your home’s security system.

Investing in secure windows and sliding patio doors is essential for protecting your home, especially given the vulnerability of these common entry points during break-ins. By choosing products with reinforced frames, advanced glazing, and innovative locking systems, you can significantly enhance both security and comfort.
