Questions and Answers for Grisham 24 in. x 54 in. Spear Point Window Guard

A:  as is the only way to secure it is on the side.

A:  Naomi, Unfortunately could not be done with a standard stock window bar unit. We do offer a custom built window bars. If you could furnish detailed drawing of your required window bar sizing and with bracket locations. Would require that you visit your local Home Depot to process your request. Thank You, Grisham Bros

A:  Floyd, Not recommended. Quick release unit performs better with single unit widow bars. Thank You, Grisham Bros

A:  Sir... You would have to add hinges to one side and a through-the-wall latch mechanism on the other side that can only be opened from the inside. I would think this would be more work and as costly as purchasing a purposeful bar guard that is already manufactured with that feature. I'm unsure of where they can be purchases but try a search on the HD site.

A:  Maybe. What's the height of the window? The attachment bars clamps only extend out about 4". If the height of the window exceeds 36 inches, I would say no.

A:  Yes this can be installed in the upright or horizontal position as long as the window/door you are putting this on is 54 inch wide.

A:  no.they bolt to outside of structure.

A:  DR, Yes, Grisham has available a Quick Release unit for the White window bars. Please reference the following on Home Depot.com Model # WB-QR W Internet #206463692 Store SKU #1001625338 Also, installation video available for viewing. Thank You, Grisham Bros

A:  No, definitly not. They are screwed in from the outside. They would be very hard to unscrew from the outside and impossible to remove from the inside. There are some others available for quick release. These will not do. They are fixed security bars.

A:  Yes, the kit is sold separately from the bars, the kit is available and you can install, its a quick pull release kit that allows the window guard to drop in case on emergencies.

A:  The bars do not include mounting brackets.

A:  RC, Preferably with a concrete anchor into brick. Screw Size: 4-pack of x 3 in. long by 5/16 in. Diameter with a 5/8 in. round head Thank You, Grisham Bros

A:  Not sure what you mean by connector pins, but if you mean the brackets that connect them to house, yes, but you need to make sure you buy the ones that have the correct brackets because there are different sizes depending on how you want to connect them to your house.

A:  No you would have to order them also

A:  Yes

A:  No, you have to order them separate for about $7.00 and 2 come in a pack, so just need 2 packs.

A:  They must be ordered separately, and are usually SUGGESTED by the computer as you place your order. There are two types available, a "flush" mount and mounts that place the guards about 3 inches away. The 3" mounts make it much easier to clean the glass. HTH's

A:  Jasonakala, The connector pins join two window bar units together to cover and oversized window opening. (Purchased separately) Several color matched mounting brackets are available. (Sold Separately) Choose from 3 in. projection brackets, flush-mount brackets and inside window frame mount brackets. Mounting bracket sets includes 3”non-reversing safety screws to complete the installation process. Thank You, Grisham Bros.

A:  Yes it does

A:  I assume you are referring to mounting brackets. They are not included and must be purchased separately

A:  Home depot Online or branches

A:  I'm not sure might be something that you can order with it at home Depot. I used the hardware that came with it. And placed the security bars over a entryway​ door that was glass with a wood frame. On a store front.

A:  I just "miked" the metal at the spear-end where it has been flattened, and shows 3/32nds inch (one-half the total thickness there). The steel has been nicely formed and welded into 1/2 inch square bars,and seems sturdy enough to hold up against some force - but certainly not 'bank-vault' strength. Mine is installed over a garage window to discourage intruders.

A:  they are sturdy but rust fast. these are cheap security

A:  used for one side of patio door, don't know gauge, easy to install, very sturdy, would purchase again

A:  Wondering, 18 gauge tubular steel with solid steel mounting bracket inserts. Reviews indicate the units have performed well. Thank You, Grisham Bros

A:  i do not know what gauge steel, but I will share my observations. the strength is provided by welds at every juncture of metal. and the scroll work adds strength to the middle. your mounting hardware will decide how firmly it attaches to the wall. the unit is adjustable widthwise by several inches. the wider you spread the less strength as it is solid piece going into a hollow space. the unit, adequately attached, should dissuade opportunistic thievery and errant basketballs. it will not stop sawzalls, come alongs, or jaws of life. a 2x4 as a pry bar might work but it would take a bit of work and make noise.

A:  They come with the screws that have a security head. It takes a special driver to put them on and they can’t be unscrewed. If you ever have to remove them you will have to grind off the heads

A:  Sure

A:  Yes, they can be mounted horizontally.

A:  Yes . Would not use it for high security

A:  Yes. As long as you have solid wood to screw in the brackets. Look carefully at the picture and you’ll see how they install. They have brackets that the main bars fit into.

A:  I don't see why not. But the frame around the window will likely not be behind the the finish material, on the lower side, like on the HORZ. Just be careful investigate the wood/brick frame around the window first. IMHO, it would look strange, you are better off getting the correct size for HORZ.

A:  I don't see why they couldn't be mounted horizontally.

A:  the short answer is yes, but....the way this unit mounts gives some latitude when mounting vertically as the mounting hardware slides into the crosspieces. that means you would have to put these in tight at the bottom if mounted horizontally. I doubt it would be as rigid, as well. but it can be done.

A:  Yes, definitely. That is the way I have used mine.

A:  Sure as long as you have enough window frame to install the screws. The brackets are adjustable so they allow for quite a bit of movement.
