McCoy upvc and aluminum single point locking handle for windows

Single-point locking handles are a modern security feature that perfectly blends utility, security, and beauty for residential and commercial buildings. If you want to add more security to your windows, these handles offered by McCoy Hardware are perfect for UPVC and aluminum window systems.

What exactly is a single-point locking handle?

A single-point locking handle is a security feature that is such a simple design that it can securely hold a window in place with a single bolt or catch. With very little movement from the user, the locking mechanism can be activated, and the window can be secured. In contrast to multi-point locking systems, where multiple bolts are engaged, the single-point locking system is more affordable and easier to maintain.

Single-point locking handles crafted by McCoy Hardware aim to maximize performance whilst ensuring ease of use, durability, steadfast security, and user-friendliness.
