Leave your windows open without fear of accidents thanks to this S 4768 steel fixed window guard. It can help prevent accidental falls from children and provide additional child safety measures so you can rest easy with little ones in your home. It’s the perfect addition to any high-rise apartment, building or two-story home. It does not meet egress, and should not be used in bedrooms or sleeping areas where no other emergency exit is accessible. This fixed window guard has 4 bars and can be used on a variety of window sizes – the width adjusts from 31” to 54” wide windows and has a fixed height of 21”. Installation is easy and it comes with one-way, tamper-proof installation screws. This child fall window guard meets New York City and New Jersey’s housing codes, and it was approved by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, HDWG #04-09-2010, but it does not meet egress. This is a “fixed window guard,” meaning that once it’s been installed it cannot be opened nor easily removed in the event of an emergency where entry or exit through the window would be required. For this reason, THIS FIXED WINDOW GUARD SHOULD NOT BE USED IN BEDROOMS OR SLEEPING QUARTERS WHERE NO OTHER EMERGENCY EXIT IS ACCESSIBLE. For windows requiring emergency access capabilities, please use appropriate hinged version of these window guards, like Prime-Line’s model number S-4779.
