Haven Compliance provides child safety window lock inspections, window restrictor checks and compliance reporting for strata buildings, rental properties and managed residential sites in Manly. Our service is built for strata managers, owners corporations, property managers, landlords and building managers who need clear evidence that window safety devices have been inspected and remain fully compliant with annual inspection requirements.
We inspect accessible windows, test the condition and operation of child safety locks and restrictors, record defects, photograph issues and provide a clear report that can be kept with the building’s compliance records. Where rectification is required, Haven Compliance works in partnership with Remsafe, the largest window lock supplier in Australia, to support reliable hardware outcomes and practical next steps.
Our Manly service area includes Manly, Fairlight, Balgowlah, Queenscliff, Freshwater, North Manly and nearby Northern Beaches suburbs. If your building or portfolio sits near these suburbs, we can usually scope the work, confirm access requirements and provide a practical quote before the inspection date is locked in.
Manly combines older beachside apartments, family rentals and coastal buildings where window hardware can deteriorate faster. Many properties have window safety devices that were installed years ago and have not been checked carefully since. A device may look present but still be loose, damaged, disengaged, missing a key, incorrectly fitted, difficult to operate or no longer restricting the opening properly.
These small defects matter because strata and property managers need more than assumptions; they need usable records.
Haven’s inspection process is designed to give the person managing the property a clean answer: which windows were inspected, which safety devices appear compliant, which items need attention and what needs to happen next.
We support strata managers and landlords who need reports that separate compliant items from items needing repair or reinspection. We commonly support strata managers, owners corporation committees, real estate property managers, building managers, landlords and asset managers who need one provider to inspect, document and help organise the next step. The service is especially useful when a building has multiple units, mixed access arrangements or a history of resident-installed hardware changes.
During a window safety inspection, Haven checks whether relevant accessible windows have appropriate child safety locks, restrictors or limiting devices in place. We look at device condition, fastening, operation, obvious tampering, missing parts, key availability where relevant, damaged frames and whether the device appears to limit the opening as required. We also document windows that could not be accessed so the manager has a clear follow-up list.
The report is written for practical use. It is not a vague note saying a building was inspected. It is a working compliance record with photos, comments and action points that can be used by strata managers, property managers, committees and contractors.
Coastal exposure can affect screws, locks and restrictors, so visual presence alone is not enough. Common issues include missing restrictors, older devices that no longer operate smoothly, loose screws, damaged timber or aluminium frames, keys that cannot be located, devices that residents have disengaged, and windows where a flyscreen has been mistaken for a proper safety device. In larger apartment buildings, the biggest issue is often not one failed device; it is the lack of a clean, unit-by-unit record.
