Ground-floor and basement windows are the most common way into a Brooklyn home. Custom window bars stop that without making the house look like a lock-up, especially when they match your fence and railings.
We measure each opening individually, build guards that are mounted solidly into masonry with tamper-resistant hardware, and keep fire safety in mind: windows that open to a fire escape or serve as a bedroom exit must not be permanently barred.

Why Brooklyn chooses Angir for window guards & security bars
Fit to each window
Every opening is measured — no off-the-shelf bars that leave gaps.
Fire-escape aware
Windows to fire escapes need approved gates that open from the inside without a key. We won't permanently bar an exit.
Tamper-resistant
Security fasteners and masonry anchors so bars can't be unscrewed from outside.

You approve a simple drawing, material and finish before any steel is cut. No surprises.

Cut, fit and welded in our Dyker Heights shop by the same crew that installs it.

Primer and industrial paint, powder coat or hot-dip galvanizing — chosen for NYC weather.

Window Guards & Security Bars FAQ
Are window guards required in NYC?
Yes in many cases. Under the NYC Health Code, building owners must install approved window guards in apartments where a child 10 years old or younger lives (and on request), with exceptions for windows that open onto a fire escape and certain first-floor windows. Approved guards must be the type that meets the Health Department's standard.
Can I put bars on a window that leads to my fire escape?
Not fixed bars. Fire-escape windows can only have approved gates that open from inside without a key or special knowledge. We supply and install that type.
Can window bars match my fence?
Yes — we can copy the picket, finial and scroll details so everything matches.
