Fitting Advice
1) Locate the Sash Jammer onto section making sure that the window can still open & close without contact with the Sash Jammer Body.
2) Drill 2mm pilot holes into the section using the sash jammer as a jig.
3) If you encounter re-inforcing when drilling pilot holes you should then use the self tapping screws provided.
4) If the pilot holes drill through relatively easily then there will be no re-inforcement and you will need to use jack nuts
