According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) an estimated 4000 children under the age of 15 are injured by falling out of windows each year. In order to prevent this from happening RoSPA recommend that there should be a means of limiting the opening of any window where the sill level is more than three metres above external ground level.
To help reduce the amount of incidents involving people falling out of windows we have introduced an innovative product from Penkid to the UAP TradeLocks security range. The Penkid Window Restrictor is suitable for use on all kinds of windows and doors including uPVC, aluminium, wooden and metal profiles. The restrictor consists of a zinc alloy body, a nickel plated pin and a steel wire rope which is 20cm long and can endure up to 550kg of force.
The 20cm long cable provides a 10cm opening as recommended by the RoSPA. This enables the windows to be opened enough to allow sufficient ventilation but not enough for someone to fall out. A key is also provided so that the restrictor can be locked as required and also so the window can be fully opened when necessary. This means that the restrictor can be used on fire escape windows providing the key is kept in easy reach of the window.
The restrictor is ideal for homes, hotels, student accommodation etc. It also provides an added benefit of extra security, the restriction of how much the window can be opened prevents burglars from being able to use the window as an access point.
The restrictor is very easy to install and comes with four steel screws for fitting. In order to complement the window frame, the body and the cable have a plastic covering available in white, silver, dark brown and tan.
The Penkid Window Restrictor conforms to ISO 9001:2008 standards and is CE marked for added assurance.
