He noticed that the window locked from the inside.

He went all round the place, but found every window locked or shuttered.

French windows to the patio locked with mortice door bolts.

'Keep the windows locked at night and unplug the telly -'

The shades had been drawn by the night watchman on his last round, the door locked, all the windows checked and locked.

"No." And he made a mental note to have the branches trimmed far back and the window locked shut.

The windows still locked, Ramie, from the inside.

The windows lock themselves when you shut them.

It's like having a fortress and leaving all the windows open while you carefully lock the only door.
