Do It Yourself
Our window bars have been designed to be easily installed in minutes by most homeowners. All you need are a few basic tools and you’re on your way.
Interior Application
We’ve designed our window bars to be installed on the inside of your home. Interior installation means better security since the glass must be broken before attempting to defeat the bars. In addition, interior installation avoids the problems of exposure to the elements.
How To Measure Windows
Our window bars may be installed inside the window frame or on the surface of the window trim.

Mounting Options
Our window bars may be installed either horizontally or vertically. If you wish to mount the bars vertically, simply substitute height for width, and vice versa, when choosing your size.
Caution should be used when mounting the swing-away units vertically. Ensure that they are installed with the lock on the bottom to prevent injuries.
The Keyless Locking System cannot be used when the bars are installed vertically.

Large Openings
If you have windows larger than our standard sizes will fit, we have several options. For extra high windows, you can simply install two or more window bars.. For wider windows, use our to mount 2 bars side by side.
Colors
The standard color of our window bars is white, which is preferred by most homeowners. However, we do offer our bars in either black or titanium (silver) for an additional charge.
Hardware
All window bars come with the hardware you need to install as well as the right screwdriver bits. We provide wood screws (1 ¾”) with special anti-tampering inserts to prevent them from being unscrewed from the outside.
Installation
Please see our installation page for all the information you need for a trouble free installation.
Fire Exit Concerns
Model building and life safety codes require window bars (on windows used for secondary means of escape) to be quickly opened from the inside without the use of tools, keys, or special knowledge. These codes include:
- The Uniform Building Code
- The National Building Code
- The Standard Building Code
- National Fire Protection Association 101 – The Life Safety Code
- The National Building Code of Canada
- The International Residential Code
Typically, secondary escape windows are windows in sleeping rooms and in basements with habitable space. Specific applications, however, may require windows other than these to be used for secondary escape.
Always consult your local building and fire codes regarding emergency egress from your home.
