With Summer in full swing, your customers are more likely to want to open their windows. Make sure they are protected with the UAP Window Restrictor!

Each year according to ROSPA (the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents), 4,000 children under the age of 15 fall out of opened windows each year! You can help protect your customers from this happening with the very effective and very affordable window restrictor from UAP!

The window restrictor can be used on all types of windows and doors including uPVC, composite, aluminium, wooden and metal profiles. The 20cm long cable restricts the opening of the window or door to under 100mm, which not only prevents children being able to fit through the gap, but is wide enough to allow enough air to circulate around a room!

One of the most important features is the strength of the cable once locked into the locking system. Some window restrictors claim that the strength of the cable exceeds 500kg. However, even though this may be true, it does not mean anything as it is the strength of the cable once locked into the locking system that actually matters. The UAP window restrictor, once the cable in locked into the locking system, can withstand forces over 100kg, which is more than enough to take the weight of any child. This is also twice the industry standard of 50kg!

One other worry people have in Summer is accidentally leaving their windows open and then being broke in to. The cable itself is made from hardened steel, which makes it extremely difficult to cut. It makes the window restrictor ideal for customers who are based on ground floors and want to leave their windows open!

Features Include:

– Can be used on all types of windows and doors
– 20cm long cable restricts window opening to under 100mm
– Can withstand forces over 100kg (industry standard is 50kg)
– Exceeds strength requirements of EN 16281
– The unit is lockable so the window can be fully opened if necessary
– Can be used on fire escape windows provided the key is kept within easy reach
– Comes with 1 key (additional keys are available)
– Locking system and key are resistant to oxidation and corrosion

The window restrictor is available in 6 finishes, and we have recently introduced polished gold and polished chrome window restrictors into the range, to colour match to window handles and other window hardware:

Other finishes include brown, black, and our most popular finish – white. What makes the window restrictor even more unique is that a MRSA resistant additive has been added into the plastic on the white and brown window restrictors! This additive kills the MRSA bacteria on touch, so helps to keep families germ free in their home.

Fixed Window Restrictors

As well as lockable window restrictors, we have also introduced fixed window restrictors into the range. The fixed window restrictor cannot be unlocked, and therefore cannot be used on fire escape windows. It is ideal for places where you do not want the window to full open i.e. hospitals, mental institutions, nurseries, schools, hotels etc:
