Product Description

This security bar provides a simple but highly effective way to protect your home and family from break-ins and intruders. Simply slip the security bar between the top of the lower window and the upper window frame and it prevents the window from being opened. Constructed with 22 gauge white powder coated steel, the security bar is designed to last. It unlocks with a simple twist, but is unmovable when locked into position. Most importantly, the security bar provides the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home and family are safe and secure.

This is a very cheaply made bar. Once I got it set and in place, it seems okay. I bought three to really brace a window with an air conditioner in it good and tight. The first bar was difficult to twist and find a spot where it really locked down. But after trial and error, I found the "sweet spot." The second bar set up without incident. The third bar made a loud click and won't lock. The locking mechanism inside is made of plastic and stripped. Maybe I'll just drill a hole in it and put a screw through it. Understand that I didn't go "Gorilla" with it and force things. It just broke.

It's difficult to recommend these, but then 2 of the 3 DO work..........

I read the only other review on this product, so I was forewarned, but the product was worse than I expected as far as it holding. To be candid, it is a POS. The only cure for it is to drill a hole and use a nail to hold it in place. What you have to do is drill a hole in the outer tube, then put the bar where you want it in the window, extend it as tightly as possible, and, using a nail or something else with a point, mark the inner tube to drill a matching hole in. When you drill the second hole, offset it a hair or two so that the extension length will be that one hair longer than what you marked so that it will be tight when you put the nail in; in other words, offset it just that one hair so that it will be difficult to push the nail in.
