A window/door securing device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the base body ( 39 ) is configured to be used as a drill template for the fastening of the counter-piece ( 47 ) to the leaf ( 27 ) in the state in which the base body ( 39 ) is fastened to the frame ( 29 ). 5. A window/door securing device in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ) each have at least one screw leadthrough ( 51 ) through which a respective screw can be led for fastening the base body ( 39 ) to the frame ( 29 ); wherein the counter-piece ( 47 ) has at least one screw leadthrough ( 51 ) through which a respective screw can be led for fastening the counter-piece ( 47 ) to the leaf ( 27 ); and wherein the arrangement of the at least one screw leadthrough ( 51 ) of the counter-piece ( 47 ) is the same as the arrangement of the at least one screw leadthrough ( 51 ) of each of the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ). 6. A window/door securing device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the base body ( 39 ) has a receiver ( 49 ) for receiving a latch section ( 45 ) of the counter-piece ( 47 ). 7. A window/door securing device in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ) each have a receiver opening ( 53 ) through which the latch section ( 45 ) of the counter-piece ( 47 ) can penetrate into the receiver ( 49 ). 8. A window/door securing device in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ) each have at least two screw leadthroughs ( 51 ) through which a respective screw can be led for fastening the base body ( 39 ) to the frame ( 29 ); and wherein the receiver opening ( 53 ) of each installation surface ( 19 , 19 ′) is arranged between the at least two screw leadthroughs ( 51 ) of the respective installation surface ( 19 , 19 ′). 9. A window/door securing device in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the receiver opening ( 53 ) of the other one of the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ) is exposed when one of the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ) is fastened to the frame ( 29 ). 10. A window/door securing device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ) are configured symmetrically to one another. 11. A window/door securing device in accordance with claim 10 , wherein the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ) each have at least one screw leadthrough ( 51 ) through which a respective screw can be led for fastening the base body ( 39 ) to the frame ( 29 ); and wherein the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′) of the base body ( 39 ) are configured symmetrically to one another with respect to the position of the respective at least one screw leadthrough ( 51 ) of the two installation surfaces ( 19 , 19 ′). 12.
