Plastic windows have long proved their practicality and functionality. One of their main advantages is the provision of tightness. However, this can also be considered a certain disadvantage, because the air in the room must be periodically updated. So you have to open the windows for ventilation. AT winter period time is not very convenient, and at other times of the year too. To facilitate this task, the limiter for opening plastic windows is called upon, which allows you to slightly open the swing sash only at a certain angle. This will achieve normal level room ventilation.

Purpose of the limiter

You can define the device in question. Plastic window stop — this is a piece of furniture that allows you to install and fix the sash in a certain open position. Structurally, this mechanism is a slotted bar, as well as a sash position lock. It allows you to change the position of the open sash of the window, usually within 1-10 cm. The slats that regulate the degree of opening of the sash are also called combs.

When such a device is installed on the window, the sash will not slam shut from a draft and will not swing open completely from a gust of wind.

Varieties of combs for windows

Comb for PVC windows may vary depending on the material of manufacture:

Limiters for windows also differ in the installation method: under the handle of the sash and in the overlap (end) of the sash.

Combs with fastening under the handle

Such a limiter for opening a plastic window consists of a comb and a pin (retainer), which is fixed under the window handle. The comb itself is mounted on a fixed frame. Depending on the design, the comb can be lowered or raised, taking up a minimum of space in the lowered position. This is the most convenient option. There are also combs that cannot be fully raised or lowered by pressing tightly against the frame. They are less convenient, as they constantly cling to the curtains, create obstacles near the window.

It is better to choose a metal retainer for windows, since plastic product can break very quickly. When choosing a latch, you must pay attention to ensure that its holes coincide with the holes for the screws in the handle.

Combs with fastening in the overlap of the sash

The sash blocker of this type is not attached under the handle, but at the end of the sash. The comb itself is traditionally fixed on a fixed frame. The place of attachment of such a limiter does not depend on the location of the handle. This makes it possible to place it anywhere. For example, sometimes just opposite the handle there is some piece of fittings, so fixing the latch under the handle is impossible.

The pin is fastened with a long self-tapping screw, which must pass through both internal bridges of the sash overlap. Only in this case, the fastening will be sufficiently reliable.

Important: This opening lock for plastic windows cannot be installed on wooden doors. The forces generated on the pin are such that they can damage the wood along its fibers.

Setting the limiter

Install window stop can be done at any time, including for long-running plastic windows. The design of the limiter provides for this. Especially this simple mechanism what is the comb.

Tools needed for the job

In order for the protection against opening or closing plastic windows to be installed correctly, before installing the comb, it is necessary to prepare the following tools and materials for work:

• limiter (comb) with a pin;
• marking tool (pencil);
• drill with drills;
• screwdriver "Cross" or a screwdriver with an appropriate bit;
• self-tapping screws up to 13 mm long. Longer self-tapping screws should not be used, as they can damage the window profile.

Tip: If a limiter is installed in the overlap of the window sash, then a self-tapping screw is additionally searched for, the length of which would exceed the size of the latch by 3 cm. Having passed through the latch, the self-tapping screw will firmly fix it on the end of the sash.

Mounting a limiter with a mount under the handle

Installation of a limiter with fastening in the overlap of the sash

1. The installation location of the limiter is preselected. Since the handle is not involved, the comb can be installed anywhere on the sash.
2. A comb is screwed to the frame. For this, self-tapping screws up to 13 mm long are used.
3. When the sash is closed, the position of the latch on the sash overlay is marked with a pencil. The latch should be located exactly opposite the comb, but at the same time so as not to interfere with the closing of the window.
4. A latch is screwed to the end of the sash (a hole is drilled under it beforehand).
5. The operation of the limiter is checked.

Cons of combs compared to valves

Regulator for opening plastic windows, in addition to undeniable advantages, is not without some disadvantages. They must be taken into account in the process of deciding on the installation of a restrictor, if there is a choice between them and inlet window valves:

• This device is not a barrier for small children. It can be easily opened, after which access to the open window will be unlocked;
• If the dwelling is located on the first floor, intruders can use the opportunity to enter through a half-open window. The comb is easily removed from the latch, and the window sash opens from the outside;
• If you forget about the ajar window in the cold season, then there is a high probability of overcooling the room;
• When attaching the sash to the latch, the soundproofing properties of the plastic window will not be ensured;

Compared to combs, window supply valves devoid of these shortcomings. Fresh air enters in moderation, and the window itself remains closed.

If you decide to install a sash opening limiter on your window, then follow the recommendations listed above, consider all the nuances of the installation. In this case, the stopper will serve you properly for a long time, and you will not be disappointed.

Why do you need a window limiter "comb"

The window sash limiter in the form of a comb (crocodile) is needed to limit the opening of the window sash. A window equipped with a comb can be easily fixed in the open and ajar position. Fresh air will enter the room through the resulting gap between the frame and the window sash. In this case, the comb will provide a rigid fixation of the sash in the position you need. This avoids strong drafts when airing the room, which is especially important in winter.

In addition, if you have pets like a cat that love to sit on the windowsills and look out into the street, then you simply need such a limiter. Through a narrow gap left by the limiter, your beloved animal will not be able to climb onto the ledge and leave you.

Comb sash opening limiters allow you to leave the fixed window sash unattended, without fear that the window will open with a gust of wind.

To install the comb on the window, you must first remove the handle from the window sash. To do this, turn the cover and unscrew the handle screws. One screw on the top and one screw on the bottom.

Then install the counter part of the comb with the rod on the handle.

Put the handle back in place.

Attach the comb itself to the box opposite the counterpart, located on the window sash under the handle, and mark the place of the self-tapping screw with an orange felt-tip pen.

Secure the comb with two self-tapping screws and a screwdriver (screwdriver). Since the combs can be installed on plastic, wood or aluminum windows, self-tapping screws must be purchased independently, based on the material of the window, they are not included with the combs.

Previously, various objects or crumpled paper were placed under it to fix the door. However, progress flies rapidly, and today no one uses sheets of paper to hold the door. And along with such door fittings as handles, latches and hinges, as an alternative to the well-known door chain, special door opening limiters are widely used, which allow the sash to be slightly opened to a predetermined distance.

The need to limit the opening of the door

Limiting the opening of the door with the help of special latches can be useful in various cases, most often when it is necessary to rationally plan the space in the room and ensure the safety of opening the door. In this way, it is possible to protect not only door leaf, but also furniture and walls from damage caused by excessively strong swinging of the door, as well as to prevent injury, which can provoke a sudden slamming of the door from a draft.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to fix the door in a certain position, for example, if you need to bring a large object into the room or ensure the unhindered movement of large groups of visitors. Often this is necessary when the house has Small child, which inadvertently can pinch its fingers or hit the doors. It is also to some extent protection against hacking.

Especially relevant is the use of special latches where they are installed at the entrance double doors, which in the open position is not easy to hold at the same time. Let's say in suburban buildings it is often customary to install two input structures - steel and glass. The first door can be fully opened during the day, held in a predetermined position by a latch, and the glass sheet is used at this time as the main protection and additional source lighting.

Types of door opening limiters

Door opening limiters are presented on the market of door fittings in a wide range. Each manufacturer strives to make them in intricate designs, polished, chrome, silver or gold, as can be seen in the photo of the door opening limiter. When choosing a door latch, it is advisable to select it in harmony with the fittings already present on the door.

Floor stops

Exists different types stoppers that are installed on the floor. Some of them are able to hold the door leaf in a given position, others simply do not allow it to swing open enough to damage standing pieces of furniture behind the wall or wall decoration. Among them are mobile and stationary products.

Stationary floor models include:

1. Magnetic retainer. The principle of its operation is quite simple: in the lower part, a small metal plate is screwed onto the door leaf, and the stopper itself with a magnet is attached to the floor in the place beyond which the door should not swing open. Such a plate, when the door is opened, is magnetized to the stopper and fixed in this position.
2. Door stop. This is the simplest product, which by itself does not fix the door, but at the same time does not allow it to open more than necessary.

Mobile floor clamps are much more diverse:

• The most common door stopper in the open position is an ordinary wedge that has a non-slip base and can be made in the form of a figurine toy.
• Another type of floor stopper is a device that is put on the lower end of the door, and its legs, which are non-slip, rest against it on both sides of the floor.

To close or open the door, it is enough to press the floor limiter for opening the interior door with your foot, thereby releasing it from the groove. There are other configurations of similar devices on sale, but they all work on a similar principle.

Wall restraints

According to their purpose, wall clamps are divided into slamming and swinging door limiters. Door swing limiters are small parts various forms and styles that are attached to the wall with screws and do not allow the door to beat against it. Such devices are simple and magnetic. Their installation is justified in the case when you do not want to spoil expensive parquet with floor stops, or if under your flooring equipped with a "warm floor" system.

More functional are such open door stoppers that are attached to the upper casing. The tilted design does not prevent the door from closing, but if you turn it down 90 degrees, it will create an obstacle for the door to close completely. However, we want to reassure you: do not be afraid that wall or floor opening stops will damage the door trim. They are made of soft materials or equipped with a rubber pad in contact with the door leaf.

Overdoor restraints

If you only want to protect your pets and children from a slamming door, then you can put a C-shaped limiter on its side or top end, which is made of elastic plastic, rubber or other soft material.

If you need door leaf hold at the right angle, then you should pay attention to the door opening angle limiter, which consists of a metal case that is screwed to the door, as well as a brake shoe. In order for the brake shoe to slide out and the door to be locked from opening, you just need to press your foot on the pressure pedal. To remove the fixation, it is enough to lift the brake shoe by pressing the lever.

Locking Device Limiters

When it is necessary to restrict access to a specific room, as a rule, fixators of locking devices are installed. Locks are rarely installed on interior doors. If in the room it became possible to restrict access, for example, to the bathroom, then it is customary to choose doorknobs with stopper. Such handles are equipped with a latch that holds the door in the closed position with a tongue that enters the hole in a special striker on the box. No less popular are magnetic latches.

For entrance doors, latches are placed so that it is not possible to open the door from the outside with a key. Entrance doors often tend to slam shut at the most inopportune moment, for example, when you decide to take out the trash. The magnetic limiter for opening the front door will not allow this to happen, since it holds the lock tongue inside the mechanism. For an interior door, closing stops perform a similar function - nozzles on the door or pegs under the bottom of the door.

Door stop material

On store shelves huge number door fasteners. The price of door opening limiters often depends on the material from which the device is made. Steel, aluminum, steel alloys, brass, plastic and wood can be used for the production of door clamps. The stronger the raw material from which the latch mechanism is made, the more it can withstand a greater load.

If the latches are designed for a massive and heavy door to the living room or bedroom, you should buy stable metal mechanisms. If you want to make the door to the bathroom functional, it is enough to choose a plastic limiter, which conditionally makes it clear to guests or household members that the room is occupied. If you want to protect children from accidental finger bruises, then you need to buy plastic or rubber door stoppers.

If you plan to prevent the front door from swinging open, you should opt for metal latches. In addition, they must have a strong magnetization that can stop the movement of a massive door leaf. For the lungs interior doors magnetic clamps with a lower magnetizing force are intended.

If you have to protect furniture sets and finishes from a strong swinging of the door, it is better to choose wall latches that stop the door from the wall at a certain distance. So that the door trim is not damaged, it is worth choosing limiters made of soft materials, for example, rubber, or latches with soft pads.

It turns out that the door opening limiter is very useful thing. It will protect your furniture, wall decoration, and the door leaf itself from damage when the door is suddenly closed. In addition, your children will be protected from accidental injury.
