The John Sterling basic fixed mount JS-1136L is a New Jersey approved window guard when installed as a fixed child safety window guard or a burglar bar device in a non-sleeping area. If you want to install this windowguard as a swing open guard, you must purchase a 6 bar locking channel, a safety release pin, and screws for installation separately. This window guard expands from 41 to 58 inches and is 22 inches in height. This 6 bar window bar is 20-1/8" in crossbar height and 21-13/16" in overall height .
Protect against intruders when installed either as a fixed window guard or as a swing open guard with the optional accessories. Install horizontally or vertically to protect double hung windows, sliders or casement windows.
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 securityguards for Non-Sleeping Room Windows.
John Sterling window guards have solid steel bars to add security to any window. For baby and child safety, install 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 help you select the proper type of window guards to protect your children.
