A/C Safe AC-702 Window Air Conditioner Security and Support Kit for Maximum Stability

Jess B: First of all when I received this item the pieces were NOT in the original package, which was odd because the original package was also shipped with it closed. Which means whoever put it in the envelope threw in the pieces and the original package, but didn't bother putting the pieces IN the package... The item was obviously used, it was scratched and the paint was chipping in a few places around the edges. However, it seemed sturdy so I decided to see if it would work on my window with my A/C. Sadly it did not work, so I am returning it (and I even packaged it for them...) For what it is worth the metal definitely seems sturdy and if it had fit I think it would have done a good job holding the A/C in place.

cbk: I ended up having to return this product for a refund because it simply did not work on a standard double-hung window. The large bracket it comes with is meant to stabilize your air conditioner from accidentally falling out of the window. It would still be totally possible for an intruder to lift up the window sash with the AC unit to gain entry.

The little clips it also comes with are meant to stop the window sash from sliding up. However, the clips are very small and only work with a specific rail profile that I have never seen before. If those clips do not fit, then you cannot really secure your window.

dbradstr: We recently replaced the windows in our 90-year old home with vinyl ones and needed to install 4 window air conditioners. We have one large one on the first floor, so of course security is a priority. It's a rather large unit (18000 BTU 230 V) and this bracket did NOT fit the window for this unit. I had to secure it via an outside mounting bracket since it's such a heavy unit anyway.
However, the bracket worked perfectly for an upstairs smaller unit! Not wanting to drill any holes into the new vinyl windows, securing the units upstairs was again a priority since we don't want them falling down killing people or able to be pushed in by potential intruders. This bracket does the trick perfectly for our smaller units. It worked so well that I purchased two more brackets for the other two upstairs units.
But, the window clamps that come with it aren't the best, so I don't use them but rather cut two 2x2's to precisely wedge in the upper part of the double-hung windows so that it's impossible to open them. This is critical because the bracket is only functional (i.e., you can't push the A/C/ unit in or out) IF both sashes of the window are...

Shay: I bought it for security because my a/c sits in a window over my balcony with ground access.
Had to return mine, the clamps do not fit standard window tracks or the average window a/c. I ended up just directly screwing the a/c into the window frame.

Mary Beth: The short screw doesn't fit into the hole that it supposed to screw in. Plus even if the screw could fit in the hole, this product would not work for my sliding window. I will definitely be returning it.

M.: The bracket is extremely easy to use. AC is secure can can’t be pushed either direction. The little window locks that come with it are too narrow to be useful on any modern windows however, wish they were sold separate.

dwm: We live in an older home that we are renovating and we recently had vinyl double hung windows installed. The home doesn't currently have central air and since we like to keep the bedrooms and living room cool we use window air units. However, this creates a security issue since the air conditioner is not secured to the sash with screws and could be pushed out. The AC Safe AC-702 Window AC Security Bracket solves this problem. It is easy to install and it is fairly secure - although I could move the air conditioner back and forth I was unable to push it out of the window.

To install the security bracket, the window air conditioner was positioned properly in the window and the small u-shaped end of the bracket was placed over the upper flange (support bar) of the air conditioner. The window was then closed over the large u-shaped end of the bracket. Thin weather stripping was placed between the window sash and the upper flange of the air conditioner to seal the small gap (due to the thickness of the bracket). The bracket was secured to the flange of the air conditioner by tightening the provided bolt through the bottom hole. The bolt wasn't overly...

Jayelgee1: Seems like it will prevent easy push-ins of my air conditioner. It also stabilizes it on the window sill. Worth the modest price.
