Are there any locking mechanisms to fix/screw it to window to prevent break-ins?

No, but it's lightweight and easy to move (has a bit of a handle built in), just take out of window when not home.

Even if there were, They could just kick the thing in, Only if there is security bars on the window could you stop a break-in, But the fan just sits in the window held into place by the window jam, P.S. The fan works great.

There doesn't appear to be any way to secure or "lock" the fan in place. The unit is light and very easy to remove when necessary.

No there are no security features to this fan. The pressure from the window holds it in place only.

you can attach a padlock, wont make any difference as if someone wants it they will just walk off with it and break in to it at their leisure

put it inside the fence, use padlocks in addition to / instead of the bolts, use security nuts & bolts (require special tools - normal hex won't fit), tack weld the nuts to the bolts (makes it tough for you to remove them too, though), add a security camera (even a decoy camera might discourage a petty thief)

No, you can just go to the hardware store and get a snap like on the end of a dog leash. There are several other options that will work and dont require using the lock.

Try the battery door lock, just below the door, not part of the door. Less than 1/32" movement when locked.

The purpose is so that they will not open but keep in mind these are stuck down, not screwed down and I imagine with some strength and wiggling around these could come off. They work perfectly to not let my kids open the windows and I have a hard time opening them past. But if you are looking to prevent an intruder I would recommend something that is more permanent.

Amazon also sells window locks - search for: Lot of 4 Pcs Sliding Window Lock. You can attach these after you install the door and it will keep the window from being raised. Love this product!!!

Unless you have an AC unit, I do not see how this will prevent someone from gaining access by removing the mesh, and manually removing both pieces from the outside facing window.One will be facing outside, for the intruder to unscrew himself.

Yes, you can. We don't typically do this because our windows are older and we don't want people to break into the house, but if you have windows that you can lock when they are open then this isn't an issue.

In my opinion, if the unit is folded down in the storage position with the cover installed, it would be difficult to steal.No, it can not be locked on. With some ingenuity you could adapt it to lock.

This one has just a knob to turn to unlock on the inside unfortunately...it would be easy to get to if there's a window nearby.

No they are self locking and do not damage window or need to be screwed in. I would also suggest looking at a spring tension type bar that goes across the window. These work but sometimes aren't quite as secure as I would have hoped.

I have found no way to lock it. But its not a deal breaker. I loved it so much I bought another one and I may buy a third one.

Sorry, but the only thing I can think of is to take it to a locksmith. They can open it for you.

There's no lock but there is a removable solid plastic panel for the inside of the door. With the panel in place nothing can go through. It is not removable from the outside as far as I can tell.

Mine is mounted with decent-sized screws to a concrete wall, and the case itself seems pretty tough. It would be hard to pry off, and would hopefully draw some attention from the neighbors, but I'm sure it's possible. With 12 buttons there are also only 4096 combinations, so someone could also defeat it that way. But it's a lot better than hiding a key. For that matter, what's to prevent someone from prying your door open?

I use a pin lock to secure my door when leaving it open for the pet door. Window Guard Pin Lock Set for Sliding Doors and Windows - Extra-Long 3-1/2" Pin
