Don't rely on these. They can be pried open or easily reached through a broken pane. You can buy special key locks for windows. Keep the keys away from the windows, but make sure everyone in the house knows where to find them in case of emergency. Drill an angled hole through the top frame of the lower window partially into the frame of the upper window.
