Will this work in an office where the windows don't open ? This is a second story dental office.

No. The window needs to open a bit for the flow of air to go through the AC

You'll need some way to vent the exhaust. If you have drop ceilings you might be able to vent it up into the ceiling.

You need an open window to vent the air conditioner. There is a tube that attaches to the back of the unit and you stick it out the window so the air conditioner can blow out the hot air it sucks up and generates.

Only if there is a place for the exhaust (crawl space or attic might be possible)

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.

It could work as long the window is (squeaky) clean before you apply the tape. You have to be careful when peeling it off especially if your window has a film on it.

I am not positive I can visualize your window, however, can describe how they work. I use them on double-hung windows myself. But mine open using the bottom sash moving up and down. So, if you look at the picture of the little lock, you can see a square on top, a turning knob up front, and tucked behind is a piece that moves forward and backward. You take the lock and open that sliding portion by turning the knob. You open it up big enough to slide the "teeth" of the lock onto the window frame. This can attach to any frame as long as the frame is thin enough to fit in the teeth. I think I will write a review and attach pictures. That would be the best way. To answer question, I THINK it would work.

Yes, unfortunately. I bought this unit for an office without a window and was disappointed to find it needs to be vented, and the vent hose itself is rather obtrusive.

No, the windows are large enough to not cover the IR. However, you'll loose sensitivity at certain angles as with any cabinets. Works fine for the most part.

It is better if the window is cracked but it will work with the windows closed. It will add humidity to the room though.

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.

I applied this is an office building that had all of the windows facing south. It absolutely decreases the amount of light and heat that enter the room. I found that in the later part of the day, when the sun was shining directly in the windows, blinds were still needed. That said, it worked well enough to say that I would do it again if the opportunity ever presented itself. I recommend getting plenty of the installation solution and stiff squeegees. One last suggestion, make sure you have plenty of fresh razor blades. Change than out if you start having any trouble cutting. Trying to work through a dull blade is going to end in frustration.

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.

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.

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.

Might work in older wood windows. Newer windows usually some type rubber/vinyl seal on the sides. Thus it may make the contact and magnet to far from each other.You might get enough contact to the magnet if you put it in the bottom of the window and the contact in the sill portion.

Yes. If window too dirty, suction won't work so clean small area within reach to get it going. Use suction cup!

Yes if the blind is set inside the window sash. This is such a nice shelving unit for the window and the gentleman that makes them gives the best customer service. If you want the unit made bigger or smaller email him first and he will make it to your specification. Hope this helps. Elisa

I think if your window swings open, you would need to do some modifications for this to work. If you had a sliding window, no problem.
