Re: Sentrol 5150

Thanks for the tape advice.

I decided on the pull aparts because that's what the guy from the
security company used on our ither new windows.  However, I have to
admit, it would be a lot better to just open the window when the
system isn't active, as the pull aparts can be troublesome, especially
when you yank the window open.  I am going to have the pull aparts
anyway so that I don't yank of the Sentrol 5150s.

Does it matter if the 5150s are close, one in the top corner of the
bottom window and the other in the bottom corner of the top window?
