Attaching the window bars
The most common method for attaching window bars or gates to the structure is by means of bolts or screws. While the anchor points are usually placed along the side of the window frame, they can also be located on the top or bottom of the frame. Look for the attachment points if you wish to remove the bars or gates.
Window bars and fire emergencies
Once permanently attached to the building, burglar bars can become a dangerous trap in case of fire. To avoid possible disaster, your New York locksmith can install a release mechanism on the window gates, which will allow you to escape during an emergency.
These safety devices should allow you to open the gates from inside your house in time of need, without jeopardizing your home security. If you decide to place a padlock on the gates, make sure it is easy to open and that the key is accessible at all times.
Installation tip
To enhance the level of window bars security, it is recommended that you ask your NYC locksmith to place them on the inside of your windows. If an intruder breaks a window before tampering with the window gates, it is very likely that the sound of shattered glass or an activated alarm will alert you or your neighbors.
