FAQs
What material are the sash jammers made of?
The sash jammers are constructed from strong cast zinc alloy with a durable white powder-coated finish.
Do I need a professional to install these locks?
No, installation is designed to be simple and can typically be done by the user with basic tools in a few minutes.
Can these locks be used on any type of window?
They are specifically designed for uPVC/PVC windows and doors that open inwards or outwards. They may not be suitable for other materials like wood or metal.
How many locks are included in a set?
Each set includes 4 packs of Sash Jammers, along with the necessary fixing screws, cover caps, and keys.
Are these locks considered primary security or additional security?
These sash jammers are designed to provide *additional* security and are best used in conjunction with your existing primary window and door locks.
What is the finish of the sash jammers?
They have a white powder-coated finish, designed to blend with most white uPVC window and door frames.
Can these locks be used on doors as well as windows?
Yes, they are suitable for both uPVC doors and windows that open inwards or outwards, such as room doors, bathroom doors, or balcony doors.
Troubleshooting
Lock does not engage properly
Ensure the window or door is fully closed and the frame is not warped. Check that the sash jammer is securely screwed to the frame and that the arm is making firm contact with the sash. Adjust the position slightly if needed.
Screws do not tighten firmly
If screwing into soft uPVC, consider using wall plugs designed for plastic or ensure pilot holes are appropriately sized. Do not overtighten, which can strip the plastic.
Key is difficult to turn
Check for any obstructions. Ensure the sash jammer is in the fully unlocked position. A tiny application of graphite powder (lock lubricant) may help, but avoid oil-based lubricants.
Corrosion or discoloration on the surface
While designed to be corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh elements might cause minor surface changes. Clean with a damp cloth. Ensure no harsh chemicals were used.
