You can use a wood sash pin that will prevent the window from being pried open. There is a keyed sash lock. It is actually two pieces; one goes on the top and one goes on the bottom where the windows meet. It is locked with a key.
Then, there is a typical sash window lock. There is also a wood for wood window. You can use a flip lock. There is also a vent lock that allows the sash window to open partially and still be locked. There is a gap there that allows the small opening at the window but the lock is still engaged.
What's nice about all of these things is that each individual home has unique needs depending on the vulnerability of the windows: the location, the window types, the climate, the habits of the homeowner (Whether they like to keep the windows open. Some people like to keep their windows open quite a bit, and some always keep the windows shut). There are so many options with window locks, and they can suit your lifestyle and needs.
