What insurers expect from windows
Most policies specify key-operated locks on all accessible windows — typically anything at ground level or reachable from a flat roof, garage or garden wall. If yours are handle-only, you may not be covered for a claim through that window.
What a security check involves
I walk the property as somebody trying to get in would: which door is out of sight of the road, which window is left on the vent latch, whether the side gate is lockable, whether the cylinder sticks out far enough to grip.
You get a straight list of what I'd fix, in priority order, with rough costs — and what I'd leave alone. Plenty of it costs nothing but a change of habit.
Window Locks & Home Security — common questions

Usually only where they're accessible — above a flat roof, extension, garage or conservatory. Your policy wording will use the phrase 'accessible windows'; I'm happy to advise on which of yours count.
