This is awesome 👏 I never knew there was such a thing 🤦🏽♀️...installation seems simple...I myself will do this project for my apt...thanks for the great video 👍🏽
This cannot provide proper safety as the installation is being done from outside. To have a proper safety, there is a need to embed the frame inside the wall.
The vertical window guards can be installed using 3" projection brackets, flush mount brackets or inside mount brackets. All of the window guard hardware is adhered with 3" one way screws that will provide safety and security.
What if the exterior of my home is brick? Do I need to put something in the holes before inserting the screws? If so, do I need to make larger holes than specified in this video?
@@HelpMeInstallIt I have the same issue, but it's a concrete block home. What anchors are used with the included screws??? I know I need to drill holes with a masonry bit, but what kind of anchors do I use?
Window Guard's are installed with one-way screws that are inherently difficult and time consuming to remove, providing both a visible deterrent and a functional security barrier
The vertical window guards are meant for exterior use only. We have a line of horizontal window guards that can be installed on the interior of the home.
While you can install through the pop-out so long as the mounting screws reach the framing, it is not recommended for deeper pop-outs due to the week nature of their constructions. The best method to increase window security would be to remove the stucco pop-out and install wood trim around the window to create a stable mounting surface.
The one-way screws used for the installation of these window guards are not easily removed, provide a strong deterrent and represent industry standard for window security solutions at this price point.
Oh, I see. I never considered "one-way screws." Thanks for your replies - I consider myself to be slightly more educated on the matter. Best of luck to you all.
The one way screws are security screws and are inherently difficult to remove by design. This product meets industry standards for theft deterrence and forced entry resistance.
They can be installed in the wall after the window, but instead of using screws, you insert a metal bar and weld the frame to the bars. That's the best way to secure it and prevent smart burglars for just uninstalling the whole system. I know because my family works building them.
Hi, there is no contact information of any kind on your website, so I'm trying here: I have a Foot-Operated Fire Release Kit for Window Guards. The cable for the upper release has snapped, and now it is impossible to release the top half of the window guard. This is a very dangerous fire risk, as people will be expecting to have an emergency escape route, and it will not open. Please let me know how I can get a replacement for the upper lock mechanism, cable, and the bullet which is now trapped in the lock.
Depending on your building codes, there will be foot-release, otherwise there will be required fire exits inside the building that lead from secured rooms to fire safety areas. In extreme cases, outward projected force should remove these obstacles (such as kicking or hitting it with a heavy object) as they are most often at their core just screws holding metal in wood. There should always be fire exit procedures for the building in question. You should never box yourself in.
The one-way driver tool is designed primarily as a driver, not a remover. Though it can used successfully for that purpose, it is inherently difficult by design.
The horizontal window guards can be installed inside the window. They can either be fixed or hinged. See the installation video here: ua-cam.com/video/LC8xvJb4tcY/v-deo.html
Thank you. If it wasn't for the Internet I'd never know how to do stuff like this.

Heavily recommended to be installed in Compton, CA.
You ain’t Neva lied 🤫..I’m frm Compton 🤦🏽♀️😂
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
SO it's not a simple matter for someone looking to defeat your guard to un screw the screws that hold it in place?

If you are installing the window guards into brick, we recommend using anchors to secure the one-way screws.

Just ordered these....
ANGELSURS i want them for my new place and i love your dogs 🐕 in your profile pic
How much the window guard cost ?
So all someone needs to break in is a screw driver

I want to install this entirely inside my house without having to drill a hole from outside to inside, how do i get around this problem?

What do I do if I have stucco puff design around my window?
While you can install through the pop-out so long as the mounting screws reach the framing, it is not recommended for deeper pop-outs due to the week nature of their constructions.

@@HelpMeInstallIt thank you very much!!
The guard is flimsy and weak but better than nothing. It's also much cheaper than hiring someone to install it for you.
Is there something I'm missing here? How is this going to stop an intruder who's packing a screw driver?

You need a cutting wheel to take out screws.Loud and takes alot longer to get in.
Am impressed, thieves in your area HAVE A LOT of time to deal with a house installed with window guard

This aren't quick to remove
They'll probably need a powertool at least and they'll smash through the window, or they can just go elsewhere
where do i buy these window guard ?
You can buy these window guards at the Home Depot. Thank you for your interest in our products.
if there was a fire u cant climb out the window??
robers cant break inside your window if your window is broken?
A foot operated release that enables emergency egress can be purchased through the Home Depot.
I don't think it is secure if install outside the walls. The burglar can uninstall it with simple tools as how you install

dead in a minute from suffocation

how can i escape from fire?
A foot operated release kit can be purchased with the window guards as the mounting bracket to use for egress windows.
How do you remove them? Let’s say I have to replace my window.

0:16 idk what the box to the left of the the window is supposed to be, but it’s _sus_
I want them on the inside of my window. I dont HOA will approve on outside.
The horizontal window guards can be installed inside the window. They can either be fixed or hinged. See the installation video here: ua-cam.com/video/LC8xvJb4tcY/v-deo.html
What tool is this if you don't mind me asking 483834
The One-way driver used with one-way screws is available at The Home Depot
Shouldn’t even have to tbh
