Has anyone got any experience of fitting things to UPVC windows that involve drilling into them?

We need to fit some window restrictors like these ones to stop toddlers jumping out.

My concerns:
- Doing something bad to the window. Won't it undo the benefit of double glazing? And don't double-glazed windows have some kind of gas in between the panes?
- How to cover/fill holes once our toddlers can be trusted to avoid throwing themselves out

I’ve fitted this kind of thing to PVC windows. The frames will be hollow, but the fittings should come with self-tapping screws.

Use a new drill bit.
