If someone breaks the upper door window can they disable security bar from above the door knob.

I would think it would depend on the proximity from the window to the security bar. The closer the window to the bar, the greater the probability of them being able to disable it somehow.

Sorry, no. If he can lift the bar, he can open it. There's no locking mechanism from the inside.

Yes, you can take the stopper off and open the window fully when at home, and then replace it and it will lock at installed height while you are at work.

Probably not - while the bar itself is strong, most adults would be able to open it. You are probably better off locating some sort of locking bar (with a key mechanism) or even a tamper alarm, to wake you up if he wanders outside.

First let's assume that you have installed the system her the manufacturers instructions. You are actually asking two questions one would be about the censer being smashed and another about the unit (or master control being smashed). If a sensor is adequately operated then smashing it would make no difference because by then it has already tripped the alarm. However if the criminal were then able to reach the alarm box itself then yes I would assume that destroying it would turn off the alarm. However hopefully by this time you are alert to the fact that a criminal is in the house and can take evasive maneuvers or call 911 as it is just an alarm it does not protect you. Of course this alarmed also has the capability if connected properly to make a phone call out and of course that phone call should have already going out. I decided to place the master control box in a back bedroom and although it takes a little longer to reach the control box that would also mean that a criminal would have to search through the house looking for the control box but I have enough time to disbarment especially with the key fob in my hand, I disarm it before I walk in the house.

Yes, you can. We don't typically do this because our windows are older and we don't want people to break into the house, but if you have windows that you can lock when they are open then this isn't an issue.

Hello, There is a turn knob on the inside of the door knob to lock from the inside of the home. Thanks and have a great day.

Even if there were, They could just kick the thing in, Only if there is security bars on the window could you stop a break-in, But the fan just sits in the window held into place by the window jam, P.S. The fan works great.

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

Chris; I'm not a locksmith, but the image that you copied and sent was a "Passage Door Knob." there is no lock mechanism. There are various Entrance Locks that have knobs and a keypad as well. I would think that as long as you are using a brass lockset, I can't imagine the building not allowing a lever type lock. The lever locks came about primarily because of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act.) If you had trouble grasping a door knob, they (by law) would have to supply you with a lever type lock. I put in a bright brass lever keypad lock like the one pictured to the left. My family all thought that I was nuts, but now they love it. There are several models. The one pictured here has "Z-Wave" capabilities which would allow you to unlock the door remotely if you spend the money on the interface. What I don't like about it, is it is very easy to hit the unlock button on the inside while you are going in or out of the house. I wished that I got the model where you have to manually unlock the door from the inside if you want to disable the keypad. Otherwise, I LOVE IT&gt;

Yes. Mine came with large screws that go into window frame. You can make it fixed, or use the optional safety kit & pin so the bars can swing open in the event of a fire or you need access to the window. It was very easy to install.

no ... the system is very limited and i had to devise an external electrical circuit to actually use it. there is a remote key device which you can use to deactivate for entry. the main problem is that there is only enough sensors for one window plus one door and no hope or expanding the system beyond that. in other words, if you need to protect three or more entry points -- two windows and a door -- or two doors and a window -- etc -- you're screwed.

I don't know if that was ever disclosed in the literature that came with the unit. I do not have the paperwork anymore, but I can tell you it is most likely your door knob will break long before the buddy bar breaks or bends. If you could balance a car on top of the buddy bar, it would probably support it. It really is a heavy duty unit.

No. Unfortunately (in my opinion,) the window alarm is just an on/off switch and is not alarmed by a code.

This is a wired product. It is attached to an existing security system and will set off the alarm in case of glass breakage. It is unpowered, just attach to the window you want to protect, using the included adhesive sheet and connect the two wires to your existing security system and it is ready to go.

yes, I was working in a booth that has plastic flaps for the door and they broke the knob. I was able to epoxy the original but because of the warranty had the maker send me two replacements just in case! They had great service.

It doesn't affect the mechanism of the door in any way so yes the door can still be opened from the outside if the door is unlocked. If someone were to be able to break glass beside the door it does make it more difficult to unlock the door but not impossible.
