Jocko said….. The window restrictors have been very well accepted by both owners and tenants.
….and that’s good because the requirement as shown in both the 2010 and public consultation version of the 2016 Regulation is that locking devices must be:
“capable of restricting (my emphasis) the opening of a window so that a sphere having a diameter of 125mm or more cannot pass through the window opening..“
So while all complying devices that allow the window to be fully opened, fully closed, or locked at 12.5cm complies strictly with the wording of the Legislation, I think you’re splitting straws by suggesting that its practical application was for anything other than a permanent restriction as per Jimmy’s conclusion.
