1.
Measure the width from the jamb
(side of the window frame) on the operating side to the center of
the window. Or measure full width and divide by 2!
This is the
only measurement you will need when you purchase your Windowgate™ to
assure a correct fit. Important! A single Windowgate™ is designed
for a maximum opening size of 24" in height.
For a higher opening, you must use two
Windowgate™ units. For safety, no gap between two units, should
exceed 3-7/8".

2.
Measure a
3-7/8" maximum space from the sill of your window to the first
horizontal bar of your Windowgate™ & mark for screw locations on
the sash rail & window jamb.
If your window has an inner & outer pair of
sliding windows, you may attach the Windowgate™ to the outer slider
& window wall.
This hides the Windowgate™ inside the window.

3.
Your
Windowgate™ must be attached to the vertical center rail of the
operating window on one side and to the wall or window jamb on the
other side. Screws must be firmly attached or your installation will
be defective!

4.
If your Windowgate™ has an
additional anchor in the center (a feature of larger units) this is
to be attached to the handle of the sliding sash for additional
strength.

Warning! Do not
attach the bracket closer than 5/8" to exposed glass. If you screw
too close to the glass, you risk hitting a buried portion of the
glass and, as a result, will crack your glass.
6.
Note that
your Windowgate™ can also be installed on a vertical window which is
a maximum of 22" wide (exposed opening).
