Elderly in Swindon made safer thanks to Caldwell - June 2003

Swindon Borough Council, were grateful to specialist window hardware firm, Caldwell, for solving the problem of window security at one of its elderly care residences, Elizabeth Home. Staff were anxious that ground floor windows that were left open for ventilation could be used by intruders.

After visiting the site Caldwell recommended to the Council's estimator that its Truth releasable restrictor 99.20.00.001 should be fitted. This is an ingenious mechanism that limits the opening gap of the window and can be operated by an everyday object - a key, a coin etc. It is a simple yet robust design manufactured from best quality plated or stainless steel to give years of service.


Available in a variety of track and arm lengths, the Truth releasable restrictor offers window security with the freedom to adjust as required for cleaning or emergency egress.


Caldwell is a world leader in specialist window and door architectural hardware especially sash window balances which are suitable for PVC, steel, aluminium and timber. Caldwell UK celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 2003.
