How to Measure
Choosing the right security product starts with measuring the opening you want to protect. In most cases, you only need two measurements:
- Width – the distance across the opening
- Height – the distance from the bottom to the top of the opening
Measure the opening itself, not the glass or moving parts of the window or door.
Two Common Installation Methods
-
-
The security product is installed inside the frame, running parallel to the window or door. Strongest installation method.
-
-
The security product is installed onto the face of the frame or wall surface, sitting outside the opening.
