John Sterling BK-1133 Basic Fixed Mount
Window Guards are for both
child safety and
home security for non-sleeping areas. Each JS-BK-1133 has 3 steel bars, is 11 inches high and fills an opening that is 24 to 42 inches wide or tall. This window bar unit meets the
New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards for non-sleeping areas. The vertical space needed to install this unit is 10 3/8 inches while security coverage is 8 11/16 inches.
Once installed, BK-1130 series window security guard removals require drilling out each screw. This BK-1133 window guard is the guard itself. Install vertically or horizontally according to your local building codes. The locking channel and safety release pin are available to convert this window guard to a swing open unit. Do NOT install this window guard if the window is in a sleeping room or provides access to a fire escape.
NOTE: Check with your local building inspection department for window guard requirements for your locality.
NOTE:
New Jersey Law now requires that the window guard covers the entire
lower half of a double hung or single hung window, from the top of the
sill to the bottom half of the upper sash, with less than a 4 inch gap
above and below the guard. Choose BK-1130 series fixed mount window
security guards for Non-Sleeping Room Windows. Childproofing requires installing window guards on any window more than 12 feet above
ground level, windows 2nd through 6th story, or at any level where a
child could fall or climb through an open window. Window screens are
not strong enough to keep children safe from window falls. Check local
city codes prior to purchase to help you select the proper type of window guards to
protect your children.
