a US Home Is
Burglarized.

Three models. One patented telescopic + modular system. Fits any window — 35" to 65" tall, unlimited width (16" per module, stack as many as needed).
Model A
Heavy-Duty Telescopic Window Bar
The SWB Model A combines telescopic height adjustment with modular width expansion — the only system that fits virtually any window size without custom fabrication.
Model B
Flexible Wall-Mount Window Bar
Designed specifically for masonry, stucco, and irregular wall surfaces. The Model B brings the same telescopic + modular system with enhanced wall-anchor hardware.
Model A/EXIT
Quick-Release Fire-Safe Window Bar
The only window bar with an integrated quick-release mechanism for emergency egress. IBC and NFPA 101 compliant — required for bedroom windows in most US states.
