Home Security Guard

Fixed Security Window Bars are the typical, Non-Opening kind you will see on most homes. These are the least expensive, and usually come in one of several sizes that adjust to fit the exact size of your window.

Release Model Security Window Bars are Hinged on one end, and can be opened. If your window needs to be accessed simply for cleaning or to provide services (such as a cafeteria window), and the room is not usually occupied, a Release Window Guard can be built with a simple padlock mechanism to lock shut.

However, Release Mechanisms can also be commonly affixed to Window Guards, such as the Push Button Release, that will remain locked from the outside until an inside-mounted button is pushed to release it. These provide Emergency Escape in case of a fire, and are ideal (and sometimes required by law) for rooms that are often occupied and do not have multiple exits. Kick-Pedal, Stirrup-Foot Release, and Slide-Bolt mechanisms are other common Emergency Release options.

Besides preventing burglary, Home Security Window Bars can also be used for Child Safety. Either Standard Vertical Window Security Bars can be used, or a steel mesh infill Window Guard. One example of this is a Perforated Infill Window Guard, which has no bars but instead a steel mesh that from the inside appears to be an insect screen. Security Window Bars and Window Guards are a great solution to give peace of mind to parents of young children.

To measure them properly, the height and width must be taken, from the outside of the metal frame surrounding the glass. If it has a bigger wood frame around it as well, this is typically not measured; most window guards will be mounted directly on top of it. Finally, if the window (metal frame included!) extrudes out at all from the outer wall that measurement should be taken down as well.

Home Security Window Bars and Guards can be a very effective safety and security measure for your home, office, warehouse, or store.
