MEASURING GUIDE

WINDOW GUARDS

HORIZONTAL: Hinged or Fixed

SELECTING SIZE

The horizontal window guard can be mounted within, or to the surface of the window

frame. Although the window guard can be installed on the exterior of your home, this

type of window guard is best when installed on the interior side of your window.

Proper Selection

1. Determine where and how the window guard is to be mounted. Measure for

dimension X (Fig. A or B). Guards expand from 22-3/4" up to 42-1/2". When mounting

within the window frame (Fig. A) or to the surface of the window frame (Fig. B),

dimension X must be between 22-3/4" and 42-1/2". In either case, the mounting area

(dimension Y) must be 1" or greater.

2. Open your window and measure for dimension Z (Fig. C). See chart to select

appropriate height (and number of bars) for your window, which must be less than

dimension Z.

Determine Mounting Surface

Window guard brackets require a minimum mounting surface of 1". Mounting screws must be secured to a stud in the wall.

Dependent on these requirements, and visual preference, you may choose to mount to the inner surface of the window frame

(Fig. 1), to the outer surface of the window frame (Fig. 3) or go beyond the window frame and mount to the surface of the

building (Fig. 4).

Measure for Mounting Width

Measure between left and right mounting surfaces where brackets will be installed (Fig. 1, 3, or 4).

Note: Mounting brackets add minimum 1" installed width (add to window guard width) and can adjust to add up to 5". If mounted width is more than 5" wider

than the window guard, choose a larger size window guard.

Measure for Vertical Coverage

Based on the limitations of your chosen mounting method (inside or surface), and visual preference, you may choose to cover

only a portion of the window (Fig. 2), extend to the window frame (Fig. 5), or go beyond the

window frame (Fig. 6).
