For a short time I will have ac window units. Can these be used to secure open windows

I used them to secure sliding class windows from being opened. It may depend on how your mount is anchored. I suggest you contact the seller and ask them.

depends on window frame. If window is aluminum..it just might work. Wooden frames would be too thick. If your question is about strength, then yes, it is strong enough.

Yes. I used one of these to secure my daughter's window this summer when we had a fan in it. No one could open the window more, but they still might have been able to knock the fan out of the window to the inside and then if they were small of frame fit through the opening left where the fan was.

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.

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.

I don't think so, the expandable width panels are not strong, only meant to cover space left in window. Not study unless you built a frame for support, even then they might not stay extended. Hope this helps

Yes. I attached the locking device to the window trim right above the lower moving window and it appears to hold it securely in place. Guess you could add one to both sides for even more security, but one seems to do the trick. So far, we are very happy with these locks!

Portable units generally use more power than window units so yes, your best bet to run it low if you are going to go with this one. I found window units to be much more cooling overall, though don't know the exact comparison in costs as I have lived in rental units that had a flat fee for a/c units in the summer regardless of the model.

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.

They're not super sturdy so two is probably best. In use them more for child proofing than security so one could conceivably work but two seems best. Also don't know about your particular window but I have wooden frames double windows (with the old jnternal rope and counter weights) and they work fine. They just screw into the frame itself and when open are flush enough to allow plenty of room to fully open the window.

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...these are used for whole-house AC units. Thanks Scott Clean Air Solutions LLC

Yes he would be able to pull them off. If you don't want him to be able to remove them, I would use prime line vinyl window locks. These have a toggle which allows the window to be in various stages of openness, yet secure. If you want something more permanent and stationary, you could use Cardinal gates window warden which is screwed into the frame. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! These are the best. You can place them anywhere on the frame so you can still open the window a little. I put them on all my windows in the kids rooms so I do not have to worry.

I don't see any reason you couldn't use it in a window AC. I bought the one I had for a air purifier, but the material is thin enough that you could cut to fit in front of a AC Filter and get the added benefits from it

I would get a heavy duty surge protector for an air conditioner. I think this unit is best suited for small electronics.

Newer windows have a single glass pane with simulated panels. In that case you can use just one sensor. However if your door does indeed have 10 separate panes, then you would need sensors on the panes within 'arms reach' or the door lock.

They are a clear piece of plastic that slides up - one per side. The window grid would block you from putting an AC in.

I probably will but please note that these locks are not designed for intruder protection... these are meant for reliable door traffic control.
