Features and Benefits

1. Enhanced Door and Window Security
Sash jammers function as physical blockers that help prevent doors and windows from being opened, even if the primary locking mechanism is bypassed. They act as a secondary line of defense against break-ins, particularly in older installations where locks may be worn or vulnerable.

2. Designed for uPVC Frames
Specifically engineered to work with uPVC window and door frames, these sash jammers fit securely and operate smoothly, offering an optimal balance of performance and discretion. Their compatibility with standard uPVC systems makes them a versatile choice for most modern homes.

3. Durable Construction
Manufactured from tough, reliable materials, each sash jammer is built to withstand everyday use as well as tampering or forced entry attempts. Their longevity ensures continued protection over time, even in high-use environments.

4. Clean, Unobtrusive Appearance
The white finish matches most uPVC frames, maintaining the visual uniformity of your windows and doors. This allows the jammers to perform their function without drawing attention or affecting the aesthetic appeal of the space.

5. Simple, Tool-Based Installation
Designed for easy DIY installation, each sash jammer can be fitted using standard tools such as a screwdriver or drill. Installation involves minimal disruption and no specialist knowledge, making them ideal for homeowners or tenants alike.

6. Flexible Security Coverage
The four-pack allows for multiple installations around the home. Users can secure two large doors or up to four smaller windows, depending on the specific security needs of the property. For increased protection, two jammers can be installed per door one at the top and one at the bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a sash jammer and how does it work?
A sash jammer is a manually operated security device that prevents the opening of a window or door by physically blocking the sash or frame. It works by pivoting into a locked position over the frame, effectively stopping movement even if the main lock is compromised.

Q2: Are these sash jammers suitable for all types of doors and windows?
These jammers are specifically designed for use with uPVC doors and windows. While they may be compatible with other materials such as composite or timber, their effectiveness depends on the frame structure and available surface area for installation.

Q3: Do these come with all the necessary fittings?
Yes, the pack includes the screws and standard hardware required for installation on uPVC frames.

Q4: Is installation difficult?
Installation is straightforward and can be completed using basic household tools. The process typically involves positioning the sash jammer on the frame, marking the screw holes, and securing the device with screws.

Q5: How many sash jammers should I use per door or window?
For doors, two jammers (one at the top and one at the bottom) are recommended for optimal security. For windows, one sash jammer is often sufficient, although larger windows may benefit from two for increased reinforcement.

Q6: Can I use sash jammers on sliding patio doors?
These sash jammers are primarily designed for use on side-hinged uPVC doors and windows. They are generally not suitable for sliding doors, which require specific locking mechanisms for effective security.

Q7: Are the sash jammers visible from outside the property?
They are typically installed on the interior side of the door or window and are not visible from the outside, maintaining the external appearance of the property.

Q8: Will installing sash jammers damage my window or door frame?
When installed correctly, sash jammers will not cause structural damage to uPVC frames. Any screw holes created during installation can usually be filled and painted if removal is necessary in the future.

Q9: Are these sash jammers suitable for high-security applications?
While not a substitute for full high-security locking systems, these jammers significantly increase resistance to forced entry and are a valuable supplement to standard locks. They are ideal for enhancing everyday home security.

Q10: Can these be removed if I move to a new property?
Yes. The jammers can be unscrewed and removed with minimal impact on the frame. This makes them particularly useful for rental properties or temporary security needs.
