Full details
The ERA Sash Window Stop is designed for homeowners and renters seeking an affordable, robust security solution for sliding sash windows. This key-operated device allows you to restrict the movement of your window, providing a secondary layer of protection while still enabling a secure ventilation gap. While it requires a drill for installation and manual operation with a key, it offers a reliable, low-profile method for preventing unauthorized entry and enhancing overall home security.

FAQs
Can I use these on PVC windows?
These are primarily designed for wooden sash windows; using them on PVC may risk damaging the frame or failing to secure properly.
How many locks are in the box?
The package includes two window locks and one key.
Does this lock prevent the window from opening entirely?
Yes, when positioned correctly, it stops the sliding sash from passing the installed block.
Is the finish weather-resistant?
The silver finish is durable for interior use, but regular cleaning is recommended if the window is frequently opened to external elements.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a drill, a drill bit (appropriate for your wood type), and a screwdriver.
Troubleshooting
The lock feels stiff or difficult to turn.
Apply a small amount of light machine oil into the keyhole and work the key gently to distribute it.
The window still slides past the stop.
Check that the screws are fully tightened and the plate is mounted firmly against the frame surface.
Cannot locate the key.
Because the kit includes one key for both locks, keep the key in a designated, accessible spot or consider having a duplicate cut by a locksmith.
Pros and Cons

- Allows for controlled ventilation while locked
- Includes two locks in a single package for value

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires a power drill. 1. Position the plate on the outer frame where you want the window travel to stop. 2. Mark the drill holes and secure the plate using the provided screws. 3. Insert the lock and test the action. These stops are compatible with most standard wooden sliding sash windows. For care, ensure the locking mechanism remains free of debris; a light dusting occasionally and a tiny drop of light machine oil if the lock becomes stiff will keep the device functioning smoothly for years.
