PROFILE AND FRAME TYPES
There are many different types of window profiles and frames
Some of the most common types are illustrated below:
INSTALLATION
General installation steps
1 Determine where on the window you want to install the bar. Make sure it is
clear of interference and will have enough space to be removed from the
saddles.
2 Place one of the saddle brackets against the window frame at the desired
location. Mark the 3 hole locations.
3 Install the saddle bracket (and optional anti-lift lock) following the
instructions below for using double sided tape or screws.
4 Place the fixed end of the bar in the installed saddle, hold the bar in a level
position (either flat horizontally or straight down vertically), and extend the
sliding end and mark the location on the opposite window profile
.
5 Install the second bracket (and optional anti-lift lock) following the
instructions below for using double sided tape or screws.

BEFORE INSTALLING Know Your Window
With the window closed
measure “A” from the
inside of the window
frame to the inside of the
window profile.
COMPATIBILITY / REQUIREMENTS
• If installing with the saddle brackets, you will need at least 1” of clear
surface space on both the window frame and window profile.
• See the chart above to determine if your window frame and profile will
support the saddle brackets with screws and/or tape.
• When determining the installation location on the window, ensure it will
not interfere with any existing window hardware such as sash locks or
window release buttons. Ensure you will have enough room to easily
remove the bar for emergency exit.
NOTE:
Will only be effective on windows with a locking or fixed exterior pane.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT MODEL
SADDLE BRACKET
The anti-lift lock is required at the the top
bracket to prevent the bar from falling down.
The bar must always be inserted with the
narrower inner section facing up. Otherwise
the release button will self-release due to
gravity. There is an arrow on the release
button indicating the installation direction.
