Does this only secure the inside window (double hung style)? What's to prevent an intruder from pulling down the outside window and removing it?

It works on the inside of the window. I have sliding windows and it works great. I don't know about your double hung windows.

the 9mm on the nightstand is the true deterrent. In all honesty there is nothing that will stop an intruder. this instrument prevents the inside window from going higher than where it is place. it does nothing to the outside window. double hung window all come with a safety device that whem enabled will only allow the window approx 6 inches to go up or down. that is what will prevent an intruder.

Double hung windows have 2 channels/tracks on each side: one for the upper outside window; one for the lower inside window. Placing these locks on the either side channel/track of the upper inside window would expose them to removal from the outside, and thence the pulling-down of the outside window to allow removal of the locks on the lower inside window. As Awgeewhiz stated, double hung windows, as do single hung windows, have a lock/latch that secures the lower inside window to the upper outside window - in the completely closed position. My use for these locks is to allow my single hung lower inside windows to be fairly secure in a semi-open position - providing flow of cooler outside air into our home, while providing a decent level of security (remember, these locks deter thieves from entering a house; if thieves are determined, they can break the window glass to enter [and, is that a 'pane!']

I don't have double hung windows, so I'm unsure if these will work. It works on locking the bottom slide window from moving up any farther. Hopefully someone with double hung windows will be able to give you a better answer.

I'm not sure if it will secure the outside, but I have two placed on each window, which prevents someone on the outside from being able to pull up the window. I hope this helps!!!

presently this can be used on some double hung windows. they work great for securing a window ac.

Unless you have an AC unit, I do not see how this will prevent someone from gaining access by removing the mesh, and manually removing both pieces from the outside facing window.One will be facing outside, for the intruder to unscrew himself.

I don't think this lock is for double hung windows. At least that is not what I have. I have sliding ones.

Double hung windows normally have a latch that locks both in place. This prevents window from being moved. I suggest widow vibraton breakage sensor that sticks on window, round, abour 2 inches in diameter that protects both and costs about 10 dollars. It called Watchdog.

It is designed to be placed under the door knob at certain angle to hold/secure the door. It has two rubber ends - upper fork-to-knob connector and lower sloped floor stopper. It might work for a window if you change both rubber parts to a flat stoppers. Tnx, Al

I believe the design is to place it on the glass. I do not believe it would work on the side of the window due to the window track that raises the window. The item folds flat to let the window riise when it is on the glass. I think this would slow down someone who is trying to jam the lock ion the window. Should someone be able to open the lock form the outside, he would still be unable to raise the window. I believe it would slow down someone trying to come in through a window. Placed in the corner of the window, it is not that noticeable.

If you want to permanently mount the Window Guard so that it cannot easily be removed by an intruder, use some one-way screws that can only be screwed in, but cannot be screwed out. These are usually available at hardware stores. I would use conventional screws first to install the Guard, then back them out and replace them with the one-way screws of the same size and length. Once they are tightened down, even you won't be able to remove them!

it is spring loaded to retract. you can open it at any time while attached to door or window. Therefore it would not hold back a door or window and could break in high winds. that would depend on the size of the door or window. I have it on a 2x3 plexiglass door on my cold frame and have not had any problems with gusty winds up to 20MPH

It comes with 2 glass protectors (cushion/metal with 2 holes) that you place on the top of each glass door corner where they close. I purchased a small combination lock at Home depot and that is how I lock it. It is not the greatest but at least no one can open the doors unless you see them messing with the lock. I have it on a visible place near the counter. At least it serves my purpose,so I do not worry about it. Hope this helps.

There is a small but sturdy metal bracket that is secured with 2 screws. Incredibly easy to install and very secure. I installed mine a bit different from the supplied instructions as I have double hung windows. That means both the bottom sash and the top sash move up and down. I had to mortice out a groove in the bottom sash to accept the metal bracket. That way each sash can move freely when the lock was removed for greater circulation.

Well I have not been robbed since installing it! When both bolts are secured it prevents any vertical movement or lifting of the doors out of their tracks. I bought to keep my toddler twins from opening the door so far its worked and that is proof enough for me!!!

If I'm thinking correctly of what your windows are...I think you would have to take it down each time you open them. But, it has velcro and is very easy to take down and put back. I got an extra strip of velcro and use it in a Different spot when i need to. (Before I just buy another one)

I did not bolt mine in I used a wooden block at the top of the double hung window to keep the window from opening and it kept the unit stable. It is not very heavy so it's easy to remove

There's a small button. When you push that the rectangular white plastic part can easily be slid off, leaving just the thin metal mounting plate. The window should then open. It should be mounted so that the metal plate doesn't block the window. That was not a problem on 2 different types of windows with 2 different mountings for me.

Ours is mounted behind a bedroom curtain which extends wider than the window width. While the long gun typically lives in the safe, if/when it's appropriate to have better access the mount is already installed and the frame is 99% invisible the rest of the time.

Yes that's the type of windows I have...just screw them on the left or right side and it will prevent the window from going up.

I just put a couple of screws in the window frame. It works well. No intruders.

Amazon also sells window locks - search for: Lot of 4 Pcs Sliding Window Lock. You can attach these after you install the door and it will keep the window from being raised. Love this product!!!

This cover does not lock. You pull it out like a window shade and slides into slots on both sides. There is about a 2 inch gap between the back seats and where the cover starts - apparently some back seats recline requiring this space so there is limited visibility in that 2 inch space unless you cover the front edge of your cargo or modify the cover. My mechanic said most are designed like that due to the reclining seats. This is a deterrent, not secure if someone gains entry to the vehicle.
