What are Window Wedges®? The Window Wedge® is an adjustable window stop for double hung and horizontal sliding windows. When properly installed, the wedge will stop a window from opening more than four inches. In the event of an emergency, such as a fire, the wedge can quickly be removed from the inside of the window by an adult. Should I have Them in My Home? Window Wedge® is a recommended safety device for any two-story home where a young child lives or may visit. If installed correctly, the Window Wedge®, along with proper adult supervision, may help reduce the risk of falling from a second story window. AMC at Westover will provide one Window Wedge® for each second story window in a two-story home. Simply contact your Community Management office at 413.331.3205 and place a maintenance request. Once requested, the wedges will be delivered to your home free of charge for your convenience. How Do I Install One? The Window Wedge® is made of durable ABS plastic and has a tapered groove on the bottom that holds a strip of velcro. The wedge easily attaches to another strip of velcro that can be added to a window frame without the use of tools. Please refer to the detailed instructions provided with your Window Wedge® packaging for correct installation. For more information, please contact 413.331.3205 .
