FAQs

Does this product come with keys?

Yes, the Loops Lockable Cable Window & Door Restrictor comes with keys included for operation.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable length of this restrictor is 215mm.

What material is the restrictor made of?

The restrictor has a white PVC finish.

Can I install this on any type of window?

It is designed to be compatible with most standard uPVC and wooden windows, such as casement and sash types. Ensure a flat, solid surface for mounting.

Is this a replacement for a main lock?

No, this is a security restrictor designed to limit the opening width. It should not be used as a replacement for a primary locking mechanism.

How do I clean the restrictor?

Wipe the restrictor with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What if the key is lost?

If a key is lost, you would need to cut the cable to open the window or door. It is recommended to purchase replacement restrictors with keys or consider a different security solution if key management is a concern.

Troubleshooting

Window/door opens too wide even when locked.

Ensure the restrictor is securely fastened to both the frame and the sash. Check that the cable is taut when locked and that the correct mounting points were used to limit the opening effectively.

Key will not turn or lock/unlock.

Ensure the cable is not under tension when trying to operate the lock. Check for any debris in the lock cylinder. If the issue persists, the lock mechanism may be faulty.

Screws are not holding securely.

The mounting surface may be too soft or damaged. Consider using longer screws or appropriate wall plugs/anchors suitable for your window or door frame material for a more secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances security by limiting window and door openings.
  • Simple to install and use.
  • Comes with keys, providing immediate security.
  • Durable white PVC finish for longevity and appearance.
  • Versatile for use on various types of windows.

Cons

  • Primarily for restricting openings, not a complete lock replacement.
  • May not be suitable for all door types or heavy-duty applications.
  • Cable length might be restrictive for very wide openings.
  • Requires drilling for secure installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. 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.
  2. Mark Holes: Position the restrictor and mark the screw hole locations on both the frame and the opening part (sash).
  3. Drill Pilot Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the pilot hole should be appropriate for the screws provided.
  4. Attach Restrictor: Secure one end of the restrictor to the frame and the other end to the sash using the provided screws.
  5. 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.
