    Another vote for sash jammers. Very handy as it means you don't need the key to lock the door when inside.

    And another for sash jammers (although I didn't know that's what they were called) - we had one at our old house and it was brilliant when the boys were smaller.

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    Hi
    our UPVC door , locks only via pulling the handle up , from outside , or turning a knob on the inside (or pulling handle up as for outside) , we dont like this , but thats another issue , the problem at the minute is our kids can easily let themselves out , should they escape our attention , just by pulling the handle down , i am looking dfor some sort of `latch` that can screw into UPVC , anyone got any ideas?

    Cheers
    Dan

    Hahaha :):)
    Kids are always excited to do what ever they want to,, :)
    Coming to the point, about the door I guess the chain mechanism would be an affective one which would really do, Like I do had a chain latch in my house and my children failed to open the door :)
