What Are Removable Security Window Bars?
Removable security window bars are protective metal bars designed to be installed temporarily and removed whenever needed.
They provide the same strong barrier against intruders as permanent bars, but without the commitment of permanent installation or damage to window frames—ideal for renters and homeowners seeking a non-invasive solution.
Benefits of Removable Security Window Bars
Flexibility and Portability
You can easily install these bars when you need them and remove them when you don’t. If you move, you can take them with you.
No Permanent Damage
Because they don’t require drilling into window frames, removable bars avoid permanent modifications, making them lease-friendly.
DIY-Friendly
Most removable bars are designed for easy, tool-free installation, saving you time and installation costs.
Reliable Security
Despite their temporary nature, these bars are made from strong, durable materials that effectively deter intruders.
Ideal for Seasonal Use
Perfect for adding extra security during travel or in certain seasons (e.g., summer break-ins), and then storing them away when not needed.
Types of Removable Security Window Bars
Pressure-Mounted Bars
These use tension to stay in place without the need for screws or brackets, similar to tension-mounted baby gates.
Clip-On Bars
Attach to the window frame or side tracks with hooks or clamps, allowing for quick installation and removal.
Adjustable Removable Bars
Can be resized to fit a variety of window sizes, offering maximum versatility.
Decorative Removable Bars
Blend security with style, featuring attractive designs while remaining easy to remove.
How to Install
Step 1: Measure Your Window
Measure width and height accurately to ensure a proper fit.
Step 2: Choose the Right Type
Decide whether you want pressure-mounted, clip-on, adjustable, or decorative bars.
Step 3: Clean and Prepare the Window Area
Make sure the surface is clean and free from obstructions to ensure proper tension or attachment.
Step 4: Install the Bars
For pressure-mounted bars, adjust to fit snugly and tighten. For clip-on bars, attach securely to the frame or track.
Step 5: Test Stability
Push gently to confirm the bars are firmly in place and resistant to external force.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Before Each Use: Check for damage or wear before reinstalling.
- Clean Thoroughly: Remove dust and moisture to prevent corrosion, especially before storage.
- Store Properly: When not in use, store in a dry area to maintain longevity.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: Keep any adjustable components moving smoothly.
Cost of Removable Security Window Bars
Generally priced between $80 and $250 per window, depending on material, design, and features. Considering their reusability and flexibility, they are a cost-effective investment in long-term security.
