Mistake #1: Relying on Built-In Window Locks

They came with the house.
They click.
They seem secure…

But they’re not.

Most built-in locks are:

• Made from cheap plastic or thin metal
• Easy to break with a screwdriver or crowbar
• No match for a determined intruder
• Not child- or pet-safe

What to do instead:
Add a physical barrier that prevents windows from opening, even if the latch fails. That’s where SWB’s telescopic steel bars come in.

Mistake #2: Using Window Screens as a Safety Net

Screens are for keeping bugs out, not burglars (or your pets) in.

They:

• Pop out with minimal pressure
• Offer no resistance to weight
• Can create a false sense of security
• Are dangerous if you have children or pets near open windows

What to do instead:
Use a barrier with real strength and spacing designed to prevent accidents. SWB is pet- and child-safe, and far stronger than mesh.

Mistake #3: Installing Permanent Bars Without an Emergency Plan

Iron bars seem like a good idea… until you need to get out.
In a fire or earthquake, they could trap you inside.

Plus:

• They ruin your home’s appearance
• They’re not allowed in many rentals or condos
• They can’t be removed quickly

What to do instead:
SWB bars are removable in seconds — no tools required. You get security and emergency access.

Mistake #4: Ignoring Windows on Upper Floors

Many people assume upper-level windows are “safe” — but:

• Pets fall from balconies and windows every year
• Toddlers climb faster than you think
• Burglars use ladders, fences, and roof access

What to do instead:
Protect every level of your home. SWB’s modular system fits any window, at any height, and installs without damaging walls or sills.

Mistake #5: Choosing Cheap Plastic Tension Bars

We get it — they’re cheap.
They seem easy.
But they:

• Break easily
• Don’t fit all window sizes
• Look bad
• Offer zero real protection

What to do instead:
SWB gives you a sleek, modern design with galvanized steel strength — and a minimalist finish that actually looks good in your space.

Mistake #6: Overcomplicating the Process

Many people avoid window security because they think it means:

• Hiring professionals
• Permits
• Damaging their walls
• Complicated tools or installation

That’s simply not true anymore.

What to do instead:
SWB installs in minutes, with no drilling, no mess, and no special skills. You can do it alone — today.

Mistake #7: Thinking You Have to Choose Between Safety and Style

You shouldn’t have to live in a house that looks like a prison just to feel safe.

But that’s exactly what many people settle for when they install:

• Heavy grilles
• Welded bars
• Visible locks that clutter their windows

What to do instead:
SWB is different. It’s designed to blend in, not stand out. Available in black or white matte, it complements your decor instead of clashing with it.
