Did anyone chg the locks on the grilles or windows?

I do not remember but my hubby mentioned tt there's locks (key-kind) on the windows themselves.

Another contractor told me that not many ppl chg their window grills to wrought iron kind due to safety issue also, i.e.: if the unit catches fire, ppl cannot get in w/o proper tools. Intention to chg the grills to wrought iron was to match my main gate which is wrought iron too.

Dilemma liaoz. Shd I chg the grilles to wrought iron? Been trying to convince myself hse cannot catch fire, but then i know its not a 100% guarantee thingy. !!

Install a home security system and install magnetic contacts on your windows facing the corridor if you worry abt security. My aluminium windows grills come with key locks. My gate is grey wrought iron tho so the colour matches.

Hi Maeryn, basically hubby and i are okay with the idea of having wrought iron as window grills to match the main gate. It's was 1 of the contractors who raised this qtn. Can I know what are magnetic contacts and at which part they will be at?

Mace, fire extinguisher needs to be replaced once in a while also lor.

Stuck in between safety (from burglars getting in and if *touch wood* fire and need to get out)...

On a more serious note, let me ponder abt it for a few days.
