Installation Tips: Window Bars

I like their style compared to others on the market but the installation was a bit difficult. The problem is that the part screwed to the wall is recessed into the base of the main part that slides on it. I hollowed out the walls on the first ones I installed and had to hit the hooks with a hammer. Then I cut a strip of cardboard from the packaging and put it under the base between the screws. I figured after screwing in the screws with my screwdriver the cardboard wouldn't matter, but it doesn't. The hook immediately slipped off. Even if you are not drilling in wood and need anchors, the anchor head can prevent the hook from slipping off. I had to cut it with a utility knife. I hope that it will be easier for others to discover this information. As others have said, the hooks are a bit small: about 4 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches from the wall.

Pros
  • Double Bars
Cons
  • Lots of Stuff
