Casement windows can consist of one or two separate window panels that crank open. The window panels either open outwards to the side (as shown above) or open outwards and up. In any of these cases, the entire window opening must be guarded.

1)  Measure the height inside of the window frame. 
 
2) Measure the depth of the window frame where the posts will be mounted (inside top and bottom of window frame).
  • If there are shades, blinds, etc. mounted in the frame that may interfere with the guard or if the depth of the window frame measures less than 3/4 inches, the guard will need to be mounted on the outside of the window frame (on the window trim or wall). Add at least 1-1/2 inches to the inside window frame height measurement. The extra 1-1/2 inches is the width of both end posts.
 
3) Measure the overall window width.
 
4)Once you have determined the above measurements, select the height and width of your window, and we will determine which window guard is right for you.
