I want my windows to be totally closed and locked. Will these wedges prevent someone from sliding the windows open?

Depends on the construction of your windows. Totally immobilized some of mine but could be overridden on others.

If you don't have an actual locking mechanism for your windows, this would be a decent alternative. If you want to actually lock your windows, nothing beats an actual lock.

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.

Nope. I installed it with the window shut, but it doesn't prevent you from opening it. You just have to make sure to pull the pad and cover out of the way when you shut the window again.

since these protect the doors that are in a closed position from being opened it would take a lot of force although with a crow bar you can get into any door/window no matter how secure

I used one on each, and they worked really well. These were for ground floor windows, at ground level, that open sideways. I set them up, left the velcro to 'set up', then had my brother try to force his was in. He had no luck at all. I feel perfectly safe with them.

It is supposed to be the ONLY sliding door lock that prevents the door from being jammed open or lifted out of the track. There are videos about it on You Tube that I found were very helpful.

I used them to secure sliding class windows from being opened. It may depend on how your mount is anchored. I suggest you contact the seller and ask them.

The ones in the center of the panels do - the corner windows have a elastic latch to close them from memory. It shuts up pretty tight when everything is closed up

All but one of the open positions locks in place, and I've never had a problem with the one that doesn't. When all are open, they secure using a screw-down against the back window.

I don't believe they lock, but they are removable. I remember having to install them.

Yes he would be able to pull them off. If you don't want him to be able to remove them, I would use prime line vinyl window locks. These have a toggle which allows the window to be in various stages of openness, yet secure. If you want something more permanent and stationary, you could use Cardinal gates window warden which is screwed into the frame. Hope this helps.

Double hung windows normally have a latch that locks both in place. This prevents window from being moved. I suggest widow vibraton breakage sensor that sticks on window, round, abour 2 inches in diameter that protects both and costs about 10 dollars. It called Watchdog.

No. The bar simply keeps the operable door panel from sliding open (keeps door from sliding down the track).

If they bump the door, or something I'd think it'd go off...however, I can open my window w/o it going off...as long as while opening it I don't slam it to the top, or close it. In my opinion, I'd look for something else to use on a sliding glass door.

If the sliders interlock on one end I doubt it depending on the door type. If your doors open from the left or right side you would need a lock on both ends. As far as lifting the center slider it all depends on how much space above that door to lift it off. but then the sliders do interlock.Interlocking means there is a 1/2 inch or so lip turned back on itself and overlaps the adjoining door lip the length of the door.

I do not believe they do. I do think they are pretty secure because I have to pull fairly hard to get them to slide out, but I do not think they lock in when the top is closed. I will pay more attention when I get home tonight.

Yes, I have mine set up that way. It would help if you had something to keep the window in place if it's not heavy enough (I use a sliding window lock that screws in).

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!!!
