This is the lounge: Also the lounge: This is the front bedroom: I checked the locking mechanism on the actual window frames. The handles power two metal cylinders that move left and right as you twist the handle. Is it just a case of changing the handles or security wise is it...

A couple of them are cockspurs(I checked on google images), but have absolutely no locking mechanism on the handle, I'm used to ones where you have a key lock. A couple aren't, I 'think' they lock the window when you twist them (as in you can't push it open anymore) but I'd have to double...
