Why Install Security Bars?
Security bars act as both a physical barrier and a visual deterrent to intruders. They also offer fall protection for children and pets, especially on upper floors, and can enhance overall peace of mind.
Benefits of Installing Security Bars
Strong Defense
Bars make forced entry far more difficult, often causing would-be intruders to move on.
Custom Fit
You can choose adjustable, fixed, or quick-release options based on your exact needs.
Compliance and Safety
Proper installation ensures egress requirements are met while delivering dependable security.
Visual Impact
Modern bars come in various styles, allowing protection without sacrificing aesthetics.
How to Install Security Bars
- Choose the Right Bar Type
Fixed, quick-release, adjustable, or removable—match the bar type to the window or door’s function and location. - Measure Precisely
Measure width and height accurately, ensuring coverage with no vulnerable gaps. - Mark Drill Points
Use a level to mark where each bracket or bar support will go. - Select the Proper Hardware
Tamper-proof bolts, concrete anchors, or masonry screws are best, depending on the surface. - Drill and Attach
Drill pilot holes, insert anchors, and firmly secure the brackets or bars. - Test and Inspect
Make sure the bars are firmly in place. If using quick-release, test the opening mechanism to ensure it works.
Installation Tips
• Avoid over-tightening to prevent warping or stress on the frame.
• Use rust-resistant hardware and finishes for long-lasting performance.
• If in doubt, consult a professional installer for proper placement and code compliance.
