LockLatch  Garden Route is one of the simplest and most trusted ways to let fresh air into your home while keeping your family, pets and property safe. It is a strong, stainless steel latch system designed in South Africa to secure open windows and doors. For Garden Route homes, especially those facing warm summers, baboons, curious pets and Airbnb guests, LockLatch brings comfort and control without needing heavy gates or complicated systems.

Why families across the Garden Route choose LockLatch

Homes in Knysna, Plett, George, Mossel Bay and Sedgefield all share the same challenge. You want cool, clean airflow without opening your home to risk. Baboons move through certain suburbs. Pets push doors open. Children need safe ventilation overnight. Summer evenings get warm and still, and windows naturally need to be open. LockLatch gives you that freedom.

This South African designed latch system secures your window or door in a partially open position. It prevents someone from reaching in. It stops pets from escaping. It lets you sleep with fresh air. And most importantly, it does not require heavy fittings or permanent barriers. It is small, clean, strong and effective.

LockLatch Garden Route: Night ventilation that feels calm and safe

Night ventilation is one of the biggest reasons homeowners install LockLatch. Bedrooms stay cooler. Children sleep better. Parents feel at ease knowing windows are secured even when partially open. For many homes, especially double-storey bedrooms, LockLatch is the safest low profile solution for fresh nighttime airflow.

As the exclusive Garden Route distributor, Custom Blinds is the only appointed LockLatch supplier between Mossel Bay and Plettenberg Bay. LockLatch is not available through any other installer in this region. Supply, fitting, and aftercare are all handled by Custom Blinds directly.

In coastal homes where humidity rises and temperatures stay warm longer into the night, LockLatch helps cycle fresh air through the home without lifting security or creating worry.

Protection from baboons and curious pets

The Garden Route is full of wildlife. Baboons are intelligent, strong and opportunistic. Cats and small dogs are quick to slip through open windows. LockLatch anchors the window opening with a reinforced stainless steel arm that stops unwanted access while still letting air move. This allows you to open your windows in baboon sensitive zones like Pezula, Knysna Heights or parts of George without fear.

Families with pets appreciate how LockLatch allows animals to enjoy airflow while preventing escapes or accidental openings.

Ideal for Airbnb and rental properties

Many Garden Route homes generate income through holiday rentals. Guests want fresh air. They want windows open at night. And they want to feel safe. LockLatch gives property owners peace of mind by ensuring that windows cannot be opened past a secure point. This protects the home, reduces break-in risk and supports airflow for guests during warm seasons.

It is discreet, modern and simple for guests to use without instruction.

Perfect with screens, shutters and blinds

LockLatch works beautifully alongside your other home solutions. Pairing it with fly screens or security screens gives you complete control over airflow and protection. When combined with shutters or blinds, LockLatch allows you to ventilate the room without lifting privacy or comfort.

It is one of the most flexible ways to improve airflow without changing the look and feel of your home.

Fits almost any window or sliding door

LockLatch works with aluminium, timber and uPVC frames. It attaches cleanly, secures tightly and adjusts to suit the opening size you need. Whether you want a small gap for airflow or a wider safe opening for pets, the system is easy to set and adjust at home.

Our team has installed LockLatch across dozens of Garden Route homes over the years, from coastal apartments to modern estates and family homes with active pets and children.
