Airhead-
What's the best middle ground? Sash bolts that you unscrew are a fiddle when you want to open the window and you have to remember to put the things back in. Something like https://www.reddiseals.com/product/sash-window-restrictor/ looks reasonably secure although maybe harder to install?

My parents house will be stuffed. Some have been painted shut for decades. More secure though.
