INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Pivoting Installation

To meet proposed ASTM standards, follow specied instructions.

1. Expand and place window guard in desired position against window

frame allowing no more than 1/2" clearance between the sill and the

bottom of the vertical channels.

Note: To maintain safety requirements, the clearance between the

sill and the uppermost section of the bottom horizontal bars must

be no more than 4" (Fig. C).

2. Using the vertical end-channels as a guide, mark locations of holes,

through hinge and locking channels. Remove guard and pre-drill

holes using a 3/32" drill bit.

3. Reposition the window guard in place and secure, through

the hinged and locking channels only, using the #10 x 1-1/2"

one-way screws provided. Adjust as necessary making sure that the

window guard swings and engages the locking channel freely.

Note: The use of any locking or latching hardware must allow for

quick exit in the event of an emergency. An optional Quick

Release Kit locking system is available, for interior installation

only (sold separately).

Non-Pivoting Installation

1. Expand and place window guard in desired position against window

frame allowing no more than 1/2" clearance between the sill and the

bottom of the vertical channels.

Note: To maintain safety requirements, the clearance between the

sill and the uppermost bottom horizontal bar conguration must be

no more than 4" (Fig. C).

2. Using the vertical end-channels as a guide, mark locations of holes,

through hinge and locking channels. Remove guard and pre-drill

holes using a 3/32" drill bit.

3. Reposition the window guard in place and secure, through vertical

end-channels and proceeding through the hinged and locking

channels, using the #10 x 1-1/2" one-way screws provided.

Window Stop Installation

The L-bracket is designed to limit the bottom window sash from

opening more than 4" above the lowermost section of the top

horizontal bars. Raise or lower the bottom window sash to the

appropriate level. Position one L-bracket on each side of the window

track, above the window sash, and secure in place using two of the

provided #10 x 1-1/2" one-way screws on each bracket.

• For installation of window guards and stops on metal frames, we

recommend purchasing and substituting with an appropriate

tamper-resistant fastener, made specically for metal applications.

(Minimum size: #10 with a 1-1/2" length)

• For either sliding windows or casement windows,

the window guard must cover the entire opening of the window.

Painting and Maintenance

This product is constructed of steel for strength, durability, and security,

throughly cleaned and painted with a baked on powder-coating.

However, due to the narure of steel, exposed, scratched, or scraped

areas will rust. Immediately upon completion of your installation, touch

up all areas that may have been scratched or scraped during

installation, using a rust inhibitive paint. Periodically check for signs of

wear and oxidation and maintain as necessary.
