Baby safety, child safety and home safety experts agree that children must be protected from falls from windows. John Sterling window guards are designed for safety and provide home security, too. Each year in the USA, over 15,000 children fall from open windows. Many die or suffer serious injuries from landing on concrete or other hard surfaces.

NOTE: Check with your local building inspection department for window guard requirements for your locality.

Childproofing windows with 1120, 1130 or 1170 series off-white John Sterling window guards is a must for multi-level homes, apartments, condos or homes where windows are close to the floor. 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.
