Cutting Instead of Smashing – Diamond Glass Cutter Ø 45 mm
The 45 mm diamond glass cutter was specifically designed for safely cutting access holes into most types of window panes. It allows precise cutting – ideally near the window handle – to unlock it from the outside.
This method is a clean and safe alternative to breaking glass and is used by firefighters, locksmiths, and technicians when doors can no longer be opened due to latch or bolt failure.
- Suitable for most glass types: Not suitable for single-pane safety glass (ESG) which shatters when drilled.
- Cleaner & safer than smashing: No dangerous shards or interior mess – no need for sealing or wood panels.
- Quickly resealed: Just apply an acrylic hole cover after the operation – done.
- Cheaper than drilling the frame: Glass is easier and cheaper to replace than damaged window frames.
Application
Use the cutter to drill a 45 mm hole into the pane near the handle. Then use a tool like our “Window Handle Lever Tool” to turn the handle and open the window – even with push-button-secured handles.
We recommend cooling the drill point with water during operation to reduce thermal and mechanical stress and extend tool life.
Safety note: Always wear an FFP3 mask (against glass dust), safety goggles, and gloves.
