How to Measure for Window Guards:

Identify the types of windows. SINGLE HUNG The lower window panel moves up and down in a track. DOUBLE HUNG Both the upper and the lower window panels move up and down, each in its own track. Panels may or may not tilt in or out for window cleaning. A single horizontal window guard as shown below can protect the opening when a lower window panel is opened for ventilation. Sometimes parents want both upper and lower panels protected requiring use of vertical window guards mounted side or side (attached to the top and bottom of the inside of the frame) or "stacked" to cover the window like a ladder.
Decide where to mount the guards: Inside the window frame (install the mounting bars perpendicular to the windowsill along the sides of the window frame) or outside the window frame (install the mounting bars in the studs on either side of the window.
Measure in inches the overall width of the interior of the window frame. (or beyond the window frame for outside mount).
Measure in inches the height of physical opening when the bottom window panel is pushed up (opened).
If the window opening is greater than 25 inches or you wish to cover both window panels, please send us email with information and we'll send an estimate.
Compare measurements with chart below. Guards "telescope" like curtain rods, locking into the side or top mounting bars. These are NOT spring-loaded.
Choose standard units for Single and Double Hung installations (horizontal applications). Horizontal guards for Single and Double Hung windows will NOT safely protect sliders, casements, etc. There is a 4 inch space between where bar #1 locks into the mounting bar and the same for bar #4. If you butted two horizontal guards together, you would make an 8 inch opening through which a child could squeeze. The vertical guards have a 2 inch space between the outside safety bars and the end of the mounting bar. When you butt two of these together you have only a 4 inch space, which is safe.

For unusual windows, guards for many windows or for windows requiring vertical mounting of guards (crank out, sliders, push outs, pull ins), fax specs or drawings to SafeHomeProducts.com.

NOTES: Window guards do NOT substitute for adequate supervision. Child safety requires mature persons establishing and supervising children in a safe environment.

Window guards MUST protect the entire OPEN portion of window or panel for baby safety.
No space greater than 4 inches is allowed according to ASTM PS 120. (This is why guards for double and single hung windows are not safe mounted vertically (up and down) in sliders, casements, and push-outs or pull-in windows.)
Use window stops (such as Super Stoppers) in conjunction with Window Guards for windows that open more than 22 inches.
