In the description of this item it says "Swing Away: Yes" and let me advise anyone out there looking for bars that can open for exit... do not buy this model!! What made it even worse is this item was packaged in a different model's packaging that showed the bars were pre-hinged and came with a locking channel when the actual product had neither of these features. Turns out the box was for the PP-SPAG model and there was a little sticker slapped on the box to signify the product was this AWG model instead. Thankfully, I was able to find the PP-SPAG model in a store nearby for the window I needed to be able to exit in an emergency and they worked fabulous. I did install this AWG model on another non-exit window and it went in like a charm. Used my own screws and it is snug as a bug. Pretty sturdy. Anyone determined crook could get through these but it will definitely keep my toddler from falling out and will hopefully deter any would-be-burglarar to move on to the next house. I also got a product called the door club and man that's sweet too.

good value. easy to install
The specs showed two maximum widths. I had to grind off a small weld spot to open wide enough for my application.
