If you have a window that shuts from the side, not the top, what keeps it from falling out?

I've seen people put plywood to fill the gap above the unit. Then you would secure the center screw to the board. You would then need to use the provided brackets to keep the window closed tight so the board does not fall out.

You can not use this unit for a side slide window, they make special units for side windows. They cost much much much more.

The ones in the center of the panels do - the corner windows have a elastic latch to close them from memory. It shuts up pretty tight when everything is closed up

i'm going to say 'no'. the shelf requires the window be lowered into the closed position in order to clamp onto the shelf, and as i understand louvered windows, that wouldn't be possible.(i've noticed that the other respondent claims a closed window isn't necessary, but they must be a wizard, because i couldn't get it to stay firmly without doing so.)

There is a smaller panel on the top that could be removed. It would leave the other side loose, but it would open.

I would assume you could reach above the screen to open and close the window. It is also easy to release one side of the screen to gain access to the window to open and close it.

There is a looped strap with a round object sewn on one end . Put that over the top or side of the door and close the door. It holds fast.

There is a lip on the edge of the door that allows it to hang from the top end. Its a loose fit, but causes no issues.

Yes. My windows slide sideways to open and close. The problem is that the spacers that they give you to block the rest of the opening might not be long enough to fully block out the outside air so you may need to buy some plexiglass from a hardware store to ensure a tight seal.

Yes there is an adequate closing mechanism. It's a typical closure as you would find on any window.

I'm not a pro, just a homeowner. I suspect that the bottom is not tipped back enough, meaning that the bottom (or top, for that matter) is lower inside the window than outside the window. Perhaps the metal right angles that are supposed to be screwed into the window frame have bent.

Make sure your window is clean then firmly hold suction cups to window for 1 minute & you should be good to go. I've never had mine fall

I have never had a problem closing the door once the unit is hung - however you can't have it too far towards the hinge, or then it won't close. Keep the unit in the middle or towards the opening of the door and you shouldn't experience any problems.

It stays open even if you don't open it all the way. You cannot however lock it into the open position.

No sorry this shelf hooks to the window then the window closes down to hold the shelf on. Sharon

Yes but when you raise the window it forces the plastic tabs out and the guard falls off.

I don't have mine going out a window . I put a knee high on the end of it . Works great

There is a door anchor included so you close the door on it and it stays put. Just make sure you do it with a sturdy door! :-)
