Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine Placement: Decide where on the window or door frame and sash you want to install the restrictor. Ensure it will effectively limit the opening to your desired range.
- Mark Holes: Position the restrictor and mark the screw hole locations on both the frame and the opening part (sash).
- Drill Pilot Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the pilot hole should be appropriate for the screws provided.
- Attach Restrictor: Secure one end of the restrictor to the frame and the other end to the sash using the provided screws.
- Test Operation: Close the window or door, then open it slightly to engage the cable. Insert the key, lock the cable, and test that the opening is restricted to the desired width.
Compatibility:
This restrictor is compatible with most standard uPVC and wooden windows, including casement and sash types. It can also be used on some internal and external doors. Ensure the surfaces are flat and solid enough to accommodate the screws for secure mounting.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PVC finish.
- Periodically check that the screws remain tight and that the cable and locking mechanism are functioning smoothly. Lubricate the lock cylinder sparingly if needed.
