Grab Bar Installation questions, answered by experts
It is legal to put bars on windows in most places, but it depends on the type of bars you choose and the regulations in your area. For example, there are building codes in Mississippi, California, and Texas that forbid the use of permanently closed burglar bars on windows due to concerns about people getting trapped inside during fires.
Install shower grab bars around the waist level or wherever it’s most comfortable to grab inside the shower. If multiple people will be using the grab bar, install it in a location that works best for everyone. You’ll also want to install a vertical grab bar close to your shower’s entrance to help you get in and out.
To install window security bars, you have to mount the bars securely to opposite sides of the window frame. A home has structural framing directly behind window frames, so the screws you use to mount burglar bars need to be long enough to reach that framing. With bars installed between these secure anchors, you'll have a barrier that deters intruders.
Digital door locks are just one part of a whole-house security system. You can also install indoor and outdoor security cameras, door and window sensors, motion detectors, smart lighting, and smoke, fire, and CO detectors.
Remember, every home layout is different, and landscaping and custom designs can impact which security system parts offer the best protection from crime. Speak with a professional to help you decide which combination works best for your home’s security.
Yes, burglar bars are highly effective at securing windows and deterring burglars. Intruders typically seek easy targets they can enter and exit quickly, so the presence of bars often convinces them to move on. If an attempt is made, the bars make the break-in more difficult, time-consuming, and likely to attract attention. Window security bars can withstand considerable force and are a relatively affordable, low-tech security solution that is easy for most homeowners to install. In addition to security, window bars also offer the benefit of protecting children and pets from accidental falls.
