A:  Jose, It is possible that Home Depot has installers who can. Please call Home Services at: 855-752-3352 Thank You, Grisham Bros.

A:  BadBod, The coupler inserts are are square to fit within the window bar extensions. Would require 3/8" square rod. Not sure how 3/8" round rod would respond. Thank You, Grisham Bros.

A:  Miss Annie, In this application I would suggest using the flush mount brackets. Link provided. You will need to substitute the screws that are provided with the brackets for screws that are appropriate for your screen door thickness. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grisham-Flush-Mount-Window-Bar-Brackets-4-Pack-WBFB/202770881 Hope this helps.

A:  Familyman, Could be possible to take one of our mounting brackets and weld to a set of gate hinges. I have attached a link to our quick release unit that comes with a set of window bar hinges. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grisham-Window-Bar-Quick-Release-Kit-WBQR/202770892 Perhaps copy that concept with either of the following mounting brackets: Inside mount, Flush mount, or 3" inch stand off bracket. Would require that you have the ability to weld or hire a welding facility. Hope this helps. Thank You, Grisham Bros.

A:  3.5 (3 1/2) inches

A:  Bnymbill, Roughly 3.5 inches on each side. Thank You, Grisham Bros.

A:  SHitch, Link to removal tool: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-One-Way-Screw-Remover-Installer-Set-with-Sleeve-3-Piece-AR2016G/205193160 Thank You, Grisham Bros.

A:  These appear to be fixed, make sure your doorways are clear or other windows not covered are available. Good question.

A:  No! Not these! These are not a recommended choice for all areas of the home and especially NOT for bedrooms. These are bolted on and are difficult to get through or remove and can be used in garages and OTHER areas of your home that are not normally slept in. Here is an example of one kind of window bar with a release... https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grisham-Pp-Spag-4-Bar-Window-Guard-in-Black-91444/202016108 ... and then there are kits to modify others so they do have a quick release. I'm afraid I don't have any experience modifying these guards and I think its probably best when you are buying NEW, to just purchase window guards that do have a quick release. If I had a home with those classic old (Spanish-type) window guards I wanted to keep, I would probably purchase a kit or modify them myself. Hope this helps!

A:  No fire escape option. Must not be used for emergency egress windows!

A:  There is no safety release. As far as the Life Safety code goes, these are not compliant as egress devices.They are designed as security devices and will not allow passage in case of a fire or other type of emergency.

A:  Bonnie, The quick release window bar unit is available for egress regulations and requirements: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grisham-Window-Bar-Quick-Release-Kit-WBQR/202770892 Thank You, Grisham Bros

A:  Domo, You must take into consideration any egress violations that would occur with an interior installation. Please contact your local building code department. Thank You, Grisham Bros

A:  ... Well then, if you like them, then mount them INSIDE! I use the 3" stand-off mounts so it moves the bars away from the window to make them easier to clean. Like these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grisham-3-in-Black-Projection-Brackets-for-Security-Bar-Window-Guard-4-Pack-WB3PB/202770883 I'm sure there would be other issues to consider also like drapes or shades or blinds. I use "mini-blinds" that fit easily between the bars and the glass, easily adjusted and raised for cleaning or opening the window.. I chose all WHITE guards, blinds and painted walls and IMHO, it all looks great as well as being functional.
