Quick Release Devices Prevent Homes from Becoming Death Traps

In times of emergencies, quick release mechanisms prevent window gates from turning homes into death traps

Window gates are great security enhancers protecting homes and buildings from illegal entry through windows. While keeping out burglars, window security bars also prevent young children from falling through open windows. In addition to securing homes and childproofing high level apartments, window bars are also decorative features of many properties in New York. But without quick release devices window bars can turn to death traps. Quick release mechanisms save lives in home emergencies.

During residential fires and other emergencies windows provide quick exit points. Equipped with security bars, windows are no longer emergency exit points - unless quick release devices are installed on all window gates. Quick release mechanisms allow quick opening of window gates should an emergency strike the home. If a quick release mechanism is not installed, iron security bars can hinder the quick evacuation of household members.

Window bars without quick release mechanisms are danger enhancers more than security protectors – turning homes into death traps. Unfortunately, home emergencies from fires to gas leaks are unpredictable, catching us unaware and unprepared. Quick release devices give us the added peace of mind that in times of emergencies we can quickly open gates and evacuate homes to safety.
