Description

Keep household windows open to a controlled, testable limit instead of watching every reachable sash. This compact keyed restrictor uses a braided steel cable and screw-mounted plates to add a practical child-safety layer.

Helps prevent children from opening windows too far with a keyed 20 cm cable restrictor.

Solves
  • unsafe wide-open windows
  • child access to windows
  • window security concerns
  • accidental over-opening

Keep curious hands from opening windows too far—with peace of mind

Wide-open windows create a daily safety worry. This keyed 20 cm steel cable restrictor keeps openings controlled while allowing practical ventilation.

A Stronger Window Safety Boundary

Twenty centimetre cable restrictor limiting window opening

A fixed 20 cm limit

The cable visibly stops the sash at its set length, helping prevent accidental over-opening while preserving a controlled ventilation gap.

Lockable when needed

The metal key cylinder lets an adult secure the restrictor rather than relying only on a friction catch or a child-resistant press point.

Window restrictor kit with plates cable screws and key

Mount It, Lock It, Test It

  1. 1
    Choose a suitable window

    Select a reachable bedroom, living-room, or household window where controlled ventilation is useful. Check whether the window has an emergency-egress role before drilling.

  2. 2
    Plan the mounting position

    Place one plate on the frame and the other on the sash, with the cable spanning the opening. Inspect both surfaces and choose secure locations.

  3. 3
    Secure the two plates

    Use the included mounting screws where the window material and structure can hold them safely. Keep the plates aligned with the cable running cleanly between them.

  4. 4
    Lock and test

    Operate the key cylinder, open and close the window several times, and confirm that the cable stops the sash at its intended length.

A clearer boundary at the window

The Window You Keep Watching

A moment of distraction can turn an ordinary open window into a serious child-safety concern. When a child can reach the sash, ventilation becomes something caregivers have to monitor constantly.

A Limit You Can See

The keyed window restrictor creates a fixed 20 cm boundary between the frame and sash. The cable visibly stops the window, turning vague worry into an opening you can check and test.

Safety In The Routine

Bedrooms, living rooms, and other household windows can stay ventilated without swinging wide open. Install carefully, test the limit, and keep adult supervision and broader window-safety habits in place.

Questions and answers

Will this child window restrictor fit my window frame and sash?
w
Wanelo · seller

It connects a frame-mounted plate to a sash-mounted plate with a 20 cm cable. Check that both surfaces are strong, accessible, and suitable for screw mounting before installation.

Does the keyed lock prevent a child from opening the window farther?
w
Wanelo · seller

When installed and locked correctly, the cable creates a fixed opening limit between the frame and sash. Test the completed installation and keep the key under adult control.

Is the 20 cm opening enough for ventilation?
w
Wanelo · seller

A 20 cm opening provides a controlled ventilation gap, but room needs vary. If you need a much wider opening for airflow, this restrictor may feel too narrow.

Can I use it on bedroom windows that may need to serve as emergency exits?
w
Wanelo · seller

Check the window's emergency-egress role and applicable local requirements before drilling. Do not install the restrictor where it would interfere with a required escape opening.

Are mounting screws and a key included?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The package includes the restrictor, braided steel cable, four mounting screws, and a key.

Is this a replacement for adult supervision?
w
Wanelo · seller

No. It is one physical layer in a broader childproofing routine. Keep supervision, furniture placement, and regular window checks in place.
