How to fit a sash stop for security
Intro
It’s important to select the correct product for a sash security restoration project and whether it needs to be lockable or suitable for fire egress. Follow our instructions on installing security onto sash windows.
Steps
-
Firstly, check whether the lower sash has horns protruding up from the meeting rail. If so, make sure there is enough room on the horn for the stop to engage onto.
-
Mark the top sash just above the meeting rail, on each side. This is where the stop will sit when fixed into the sash.
-
Refer to the individual fitting instructions of the sash stop for specific methods on hole sizes etc.
-
Once the sash stop is fixed on both sides, test the operation by opening the fastener and trying to lift the lower sash upwards.
