Will it work through a double pane house window?

I don't think so. It was made for auto and truck glass. The signal would be very low due to the gap in the glass.

I'm not sure about that.. I would think it might, but there may be some signal loss. That is just my guess.

Unless you have at least a few inches of wall surface inside your window frame, I'm afraid not. It needs to be nailed into the wall with a drill and it goes only straight across.

It must be installed on a "single" pane window. Most windows today are double or even triple pane glass. I sent this back as all my windows are double pane. I live in a suburb of Tulsa and my Midland radio has alerted without the external antenna on every event and here in Oklahoma that is a great number of events.

when I talked to the manufacturer they said it on double pane windows. But we have just leaning a double pane window and it works fine.My husband has not taken the time to actually attach it and we leave in woods and it is working just fine. Sometimes too fine, like in the middle of the night giving flash flood warnings every 30 to 60 minutes and your well above the flood plain. So I would say go for it.

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

It will work but you might want to build simple frames to go over your windows maybe just inside the frameworkAnd use clear tape or staple it on the frame with a staple gun. It is nice and clear. We used it for a greenhouse andFor windows to help insulate the house.

Yes. Mine is on a 2nd floor window, as that is where I live. Have had no problems.

I think if you have at least the minimum opening size, it should work in any window. You would just need to be able to fill the area around the fan for efficiency. I guess you could rotate the housing 90 degrees if needed to use the included panels to fill the gaps. I'm assuming you could close the window against the fan on two edges. I don't know if you could screw it in. I can't screw it into my walls even with up & down style windows. It would be impossible to open or close the windows and I need to remove it anyway when it's cold. I just close my double windows down on top of the housing and clamp it in. It works fine in my case. Hope this helps you somewhat. I think if you have at least the minimum opening size, it should work in any window. You would just need to be able to fill the area around the fan for efficiency.

It should work on any type of smooth glass used in any kind of Windows. It relies on surface tension so it might not work on glass with a rough texture texture privacy glass like you might find in a bathroom or on a shower door. It goes on the inside window pane so single or double pane makes no difference.

somehow I don't think that will work, is manufactured for a window that opens up

Yes it does, with the doors being clear glass it does work. Hope thaat helps.

no it hasn't when i have tried, it seems to need significant motion to activate so unless you have very thin clear windows i doubt it will work, mine are tinted due to the heat so this may have affected my results

the window adapter is very flimsy, about 4-5 inches wide by 3-ft. long. If you have windows which open vertically the adapter will probably work fine. It is not tall enough for most windows that open horizontally however.

Yes, I've had work through several windows in my home (and they're double pane) during the day, but it won't work for me at night, because at night I get too much refection from the IR bouncing off the window at night to be useful.

Yes. I put it on my door window when our protocol changed for lockdown situations. It stuck fine and blocked all views of my classroom. I would think it would also work on regular windows. It looks black from both sides.

You can set it so that the interior doors won't set it off. Yes. And the windows can be open, yes. Make sure that you can get your money back in case you can't get it to work for your home. I feel it works for smaller homes better. And you have to play with the sensitivity a bit to get it right but it should be worth it.

It will work, as long as you have a clear shot through a window or something (I broadcast hundreds of feet away without a problem). Trying to go through walls impedes it's abilities greatly. You only need one. By the way, the higher you have it, the better.
