Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners looking to enhance the security of their sash windows, particularly on upper floors or in homes with children. The From The Anvil Lacquered Brass Secure Stops offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for restricting window movement and improving safety, with a key benefit being their insurance compliance and durable lacquered brass finish. A potential caveat is that they are sold in sets of four, which may be more than needed for single windows if not configuring for night-venting.

FAQs

What material are the secure stops made from?

They are forged from a solid brass base with a high-quality lacquer applied to its surface.

How many windows can one set of four stops secure?

One set of four stops is sufficient for two sash windows if not used in a night-vent configuration. If night-venting is required for one window, the set of four would be used for that single window.

What is the purpose of the night-venting configuration?

The night-venting configuration involves fitting the third and fourth stops higher up on the frame (approx. 100mm above the first and second) to restrict the window to a small opening for ventilation while maintaining security.

Are these stops load-bearing?

No, the secure stop is non-load bearing and therefore not subject to the requirements of BS EN 14351-1.

What are the dimensions of the strike plate?

The strike plate dimensions are 26mm x 19mm x 2mm.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 5-year guarantee.

How do I clean the lacquered brass finish?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes to maintain the lacquer.

Troubleshooting

Window still opens too far.

Ensure the stops are securely fastened to the frame and the sash. Verify that the distance between the stops is set correctly to prevent excessive opening.

Product tarnishes or discolors.

The lacquered finish is designed to prevent this. If discoloration occurs, it may indicate damage to the lacquer. Clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive materials.

Screws do not grip securely.

Ensure you are using appropriate pilot holes for the wood screws. If the wood is soft or damaged, consider using wood filler or alternative fixings for a secure attachment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a significant security upgrade for sash windows.
  • The lacquered brass finish is durable, attractive, and requires minimal maintenance.
  • Helps meet insurance requirements for home security.
  • Offers a practical safety feature for households with children.
  • Flexible installation options for standard or night-venting configurations.

Cons

  • Sold in sets of four, which might be excessive for users needing fewer stops.
  • The non-load bearing nature means they are not subject to specific BS EN standards, though they are insurance compliant.
  • Requires manual installation, involving drilling and screwing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired window opening restriction. For standard locking, install stops to limit the sash opening to a safe, predetermined gap. For night-venting, place the third and fourth stops approximately 100mm above the first and second stops on the frame.
  2. Mark the positions for the stops on the window frame and the sash.
  3. Using the provided matching SS wood screws, securely attach the stops to the marked positions.

Compatibility:

  • Designed specifically for use with sash windows.
  • The 10mm insert diameter and 19mm stop projection are suited for standard sash window profiles.

Care:

  • The lacquered brass finish is designed for low maintenance. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the lacquer.
  • Periodically check that the screws remain tight and the stops are functioning correctly.
