Lockable tilt and turn handle

No Lock ??? ....So what's on the handle on the "other" side .? Are you saying someone can just open it from the outside and walk in .??

John I'm no expert but I have the same thing in my living room and my handle locks so you should be able to get one for it. It will depent on what kind of locking system is fitted to your door. Do you know what double glaing company fitted windows?

If so, you could contact them they should be able to supply another handle. As for it being more secure I don't know. I mean when handle is closed door will be locked. If someone is able to operate handle from inside then you already have a problem i.e. someone in your house. You might be correct about the insurance side though.

I found this site excellent for UPVC hardware:

This is not a grey areas, it's a black-and-white issue: find out by consulting your insurance policy (which includes whatever declaration you made to the company about locks etc when you set up the policy).

I've been in touch with them and it seems they have a locking handle, though not up to five lever standards. Presumably this is common to most patio doors also?

Not an expert, but I think insurance companies accept UPVC units as acceptable.

It's worth checking with yours though!
