Product Information

Full details

This Securit 200mm white cable restrictor is ideal for homeowners, landlords, and anyone prioritizing safety, particularly in households with children or in multi-story buildings. Its key benefit is significantly enhancing security by limiting window and door openings to approximately 100mm, preventing accidental falls while allowing for safe ventilation. A minor consideration is that the lock mechanism requires the supplied key for operation, meaning the key must be kept accessible.

Troubleshooting

Restrictor does not lock

Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the lock mechanism before removing the key. Check for any debris obstructing the lock.

Cable is difficult to insert or remove

Check the cable for any kinks or damage. Ensure the lock mechanism is free of dirt or debris. Try wiggling the cable gently while inserting/removing.

Screws do not hold securely

Ensure you are drilling into a solid part of the frame. If the frame material is soft, consider using appropriate wall plugs or alternative fixings suitable for your specific frame material.

Opening limit is not consistent

Verify that both the base plate and the arm are securely fastened to their respective surfaces. Ensure the cable is taut when locked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This restrictor is designed for use on most common window and door types, including uPVC, wood, aluminium, and steel frames. Ensure the frame is solid enough to accept screws.

Installation:

Determine the desired opening limit (approximately 100 mm). Position the restrictor arm and base plate accordingly on the frame and the opening sash.
Mark the screw hole positions.
Using the provided 45 mm self-drilling flat head screws, fix the base plate securely to the frame and the arm to the sash.
Once fixed, extend the cable and insert it into the lock mechanism. Remove the key to automatically engage the lock.

Care: Clean the exterior of the restrictor with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically check that the cable is not frayed and that the lock mechanism operates smoothly.
