Will this product work on actual windows in buildings? At work, we are looking at putting these in offices with windows in the awful event of a shooter/terrorist/fire situation that would block the door exit.

I think you first should determine what the windows are made of. Many office buildings have laminated glass windows, which have a sticky layer of stretchy plastic inside (same as a car windshield, but not a side or back window). These are very difficult to break through, even with a large hammer. Laminated is good for protecting people/things inside from burglars, flying debris in storms, etc, and for protecting people from falling out through them. However, since breaking in through one is difficult, so is breaking out through one. The windows should have a faint white imprint in one of the corners identifying if they are laminated or tempered safety glass (no label indicates plate or heat strengthened glass). Tempered should break into tiny pieces with a good bit of force, much like the side windows of a car, and is the kind of glass this hammer would work on. Plate or heat strengthened will break, but will fall apart in large sword-like shards, which can fall inward and cut you as you break it. This can be quite dangerous, but this kind of glass is not allowed for use in windows that go down close to the floor (fall-through and get sliced up hazard), thus not typically used in office buildings. This glass is what typical residential windows that start well above the floor are made of.

They're meant to be mounted inside the window frame, because they Djete to the inner frame. However, if you had a frame outside the window that they would adhere to, I think it would be feasible.

The purpose is so that they will not open but keep in mind these are stuck down, not screwed down and I imagine with some strength and wiggling around these could come off. They work perfectly to not let my kids open the windows and I have a hard time opening them past. But if you are looking to prevent an intruder I would recommend something that is more permanent.

yes. I tested one to see, and it adheres well to glass. I don't know how long it would stick, or if it would fall off after some time, but it sticks at least as well as a window cling.

We have used these door protectors on both our LS430 and GX470 - they work good but don't lower the windows when they are installed because it does scrape the tinted glass - my husband was none too pleased - so now we just don't lower those windows when dogs in back seat.

Don't really know, but I am doubtful. The pre-pasted adhesive works pretty well on walls. It might stick to window glass for a while, but I would think as outside temperatures changed it wouldn't hold forever.

I used it on an odd-shaped window and it worked pretty well. Don't expect it to do a perfect job in the corners.

I don't know why you couldn't use them on a window of a house. The sticky film looks bumpy so they might not look great from the outside looking in, but they look great on the inside (if that's where you are going to put them). I don't see why it would ruin your window.

English please??? I think you're asking if you can put the camera in a window. If that's your question I'd say, "no, the glass would probably block the motion sensing of the camera". I'm not sure about that but there's also the problem of the flash reflecting on the window and whiting out the picture. I'm just a consumer, not a scientist, so my answer is just a supposition.

Hi Zulma Christian, I didn't use them so much for my sliding glass door. I used them for my windows and LOVED THEM! Once in place... They are in place. I can imagine they would work out well for sliding glass doors depending how thick the walls of the track are. Take care in this - though these little gems work well all slide locks will leave marks where they have been installed. It the nature of the beast. I suppose you can slide a thin piece of wood or ??? But these are screws you are putting in place to hold your windows and doors in place. The rubber after the first or second time of usage will not be the buffer you dreamed it would be... removing it an finding a thin hard piece of plastic might be the trick. Otherwise it will put holes in the aluminum. So, Step 1 - Close your Door or Window. Step 2 - Place Black rubber piece over the aluminum track and slide it against the door or window firmly. Step 3 - Remove thumb screws and place aluminum cover over the black rubber piece... you might need to press down hard or tap into place. Step 4 - Screw thumb screws into place until secure so the slide lock doesn't move. You may need to use a pair of pliers. SIDE NOTE: It is best to use to a lock on both the top and the bottom... &lt;Note from manufacture.&gt; I hope this was of some use and good luck... Much better than using a piece of board in the bottom of your door. I did that and all that happened is they pushed it hard enough so the top opened enough that they could get in... I'm guessing why the manufacture suggest using a lock on both the top and the bottom. :)

Nope! It works the best if you do put it directly in the window frame, (where you cannot close the window) but I used these on three windows in my boston apartment with awkwardly sized windows; it fits behind the window frame with just a small gap because of the difference in height.

Not sure about windows or doors. The magnets might work on a single pane window. Possibly use some kind of mild adhesive as an alternate option. Good luck. They work great on sliding screen doors!

They would work best in windows that move up & down; the louvers keep rain from coming in during storms, but if that's not an issue, I see no reason they can't be used in windows that open sideways - providing the length is good. Lin D.

No, when using the product inside only use it around window and outside door frames. It's not for use in high traffic areas.

I just figured out I did not answer your question. I have not tried it from inside a building while my camera is outside? I figure it would work through a window? Sorry for the useless response.

Not at all. Search for "Window Punch" on here. That first result is what we keep on our Fire/Rescue truck for shattering tempered glass in an emergency. It takes more push to squash a bug than break tempered glass with the right tool.

Somewhat. If a home is lined with radiant barrier or other metallic insulating material it will not work. Near a window allows it to function some.
