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
specically 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.
