FAQs
What type of screws are provided?
The pack includes uPVC screws, which are suitable for most common uPVC window and door frames.
Can these be used on any window?
They are primarily designed for sash windows, but can also be adapted for other sliding windows or doors where the mechanism can be physically jammed.
How many jammers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 HomeSecure Sash Jammers.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
You will typically need a screwdriver (Phillips head is common for uPVC screws) and potentially a drill for pilot holes, depending on the frame material.
Can these be used for external doors?
Yes, they can be fitted to the bottom of certain types of external doors to add an extra layer of security by jamming the sliding mechanism.
What are the spacers and packers for?
They are used to fill any gaps and ensure a tight, secure fit when the window or door is closed, maximizing the jamming effect.
Troubleshooting
Jammer does not fit snugly.
Utilize the included button spacers and packers to adjust the fit. Experiment with different combinations to find the most secure fit when the window or door is closed.
Screws do not hold firmly.
Ensure you are drilling into a solid part of the frame. If the material is soft or damaged, consider using appropriate wall anchors or a stronger adhesive, although this is not part of the standard installation.
Jammer is difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions in the window or door track. Ensure the jammer itself is not bent or damaged. Lubricate the track lightly if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired location for the sash jammer. For windows and doors, this is typically along the bottom track where the sashes meet.
- Use the provided button spacers and packers to achieve a snug fit when the window or door is closed.
- Mark the screw holes through the jammer's mounting points.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, especially for harder materials.
- Secure the jammer in place using the provided uPVC screws.
Compatibility:
These sash jammers are designed for use on standard sash windows and doors. They are compatible with most uPVC, wooden, and metal frames where a sliding mechanism can be jammed. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for the jammer to engage when the window or door is closed.
Care:
Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Periodically check that the jammer remains securely fastened and operates smoothly.
