Window Restrictors for double glazing

paddypaws101

I do like to leave my front bedroom (upstairs) windows open most of the year but am aware that this poses something of a security risk.
can anyone recommend a secure restrictor which could be fiitted? I have seen the Jackloc ones and also some brackets such as these

Cant help you at all but must say you've inspired me to look for similar...house was like an oven last night after being locked up all day!

There have these type in Amazon:
(Cannot post links, but google "Windows restrictors amazon")

The first link if for a cable based restrictor with the brand "JackLoc

No idea if they would stand up to bolt cutters or other security related issues though. And I have not personally used them

I've had jackloc restrictors fitted on double glazed windows and they work really well (but don't use the permanent screws if you ever plan to remove the restrictors).

100mm seems about right to stop my toddler exiting via his (low) window...

sorry to hijack the thread a little, but any thoughts on whether Jaclok or some other product may fulfil a similar function?
