I am trying to understand if it is possible to securely lock the window? This would be at my place of business, a room on the first floor. The window

Yes, I have multiple portable air conditioners that I am using and I have all of them securely locked, but you will need to buy separate window locks to accomplish this. For windows I am particularly worried about being targeted for break-ins due to a first floor location or other issues, I use 2 double locks, so I have the window secured with a single lock and then I have a second one a few inches over at the top of the window. There are different style window locks as well, and if I think there is the slightest chance that a human could stick his or her arm in my window and unlock the window, I am using the type of locks that require a special wrench to unscrew rather than using a lock that can be untwisted without special tools. These locks are very inexpensive but do have to be purchased separately--there is nothing that comes with this particular unit to secure your window. This is a good air conditioner though, and I would expect that you would be pleased with how it will cool a first floor office and how loud it will be during the work day.

Get one of those severed hands they sell for halloween and have an axe within view.

I don't think so,because you have to open the window up so that you can put the exhaust host coupling where the exhaust host(extension/white host,see kit) is connect.Then you can not lock your window.I live in the 14th floor,so that's OK for me, but if I live in first floor I will not feel safe,is up to you.....

With a pair of scissors or wire cutters it would be hard. With bolt cutters you could do it with one hand easily. If someone is going to target you and they know you left your gun in the box while shopping consider it gone. If someone smashed your window and then saw the box they probably would be there for a bit trying to rip it out. I've upgraded from this lock box to the PP1K which is larger, has a thicker cable and provides more security.

Yes you can, I have two sets for my front bedroom windows with no problems, but I would recommend that if you are placing them in a window that is easily reached that you also use a security bar or some other means to keep the screens from being forced open.

The thingie on the end (yep, I'm mechanically inclined!!) can be pretty tight if it is fitting tightly on the place you're putting it. I'm not sure if a 3-year old could unlock it or not (my son is now 25 and I don't remember back that far!). Also, putting it at the top to stop the window from opening may be enough height to keep it out of reach. To be honest, I'd give it a try, maybe start with one and see what you think. I just know I feel secure in my house alone, with my windows open to let air in and not worry that someone can get in. I love these!

it can only be held in the window by being placed on the sill of an open window and then bringing the top pane down vertically into the units support bracket which is on top of the unit.hope that answered.^_^

You can either wedge a piece of wood between the window and the top casing or put a screw so the window cannot go up. However, the later may be a fire code violation, depending on where you live.

Whenever you shut the door, it's locked and a code is required to unlock it. You'd have to block the door open to keep it unlocked.

Yes, you can take the stopper off and open the window fully when at home, and then replace it and it will lock at installed height while you are at work.

it would be almost impossible in my opinion. The frame is screwed to the door from the inside. I installed it myself, and any intruder is not going to get through that way.

You can lock the door from outside with a key. I leave the inside on lock mode all the time, that way I now the door is locked.

If they bump the door, or something I'd think it'd go off...however, I can open my window w/o it going off...as long as while opening it I don't slam it to the top, or close it. In my opinion, I'd look for something else to use on a sliding glass door.

I dont think you would be able to lock them securely. They just have little eye holes on them. The case is really nice, but not secure in any way... Hope this helps you.

There is a way to "lock" the cat window where the cat cant come in or go out. The window that you put it in can not be locked since you have to open it to put the cat window in but you could put a rod or some kind of stick jarring the window where someone could not open it further.

Although there is a thin tab on both side of the handle for a lock to go through, it is not in any way a "secure" lock. As stated in another answer, case can be easily cut into or the hinges pried apart. It's more of a "I don't want you in here" lock than a "you can't get in here" lock. Do not put anything of value or danger in this case thinking it would be safe.

There is no manual way to lock it from the inside, Yes there is a "Passage Mode" that can be used very easily, I live in northern VT where the elements do now alow my to use these locks on exterior doors. They work fantastic on interior doors and would highly recommend them.

You can only lock it from the outside with the key, but that defeats the purpose of the digital lock doesn't it. You have to turn the lock before you go out, or open the door and turn it. I can only guess that there is alarm system involved here.

That is a good question. My window opens out. I am not sure. I have secured my shelf with screws. I guess it depends on the screen.
