Hello! Our pool construction is (knock on wood) nearing the end, after many delays, and we have spent days spending tens of hours online trying to find acceptably- rated window latches (door alarms, too) that we can order and receive ASAP. Our builder was vague in what he said we need: Window Latches must be ASTM F 2090 approved and state it on the equipment, and door alarms must be UL 2017 rated. We are in Austin, TX. Try as I may, I have searched high and low and can not find the answers to this on our city's website. Neighbors have said their inspections passed recently with cheap equipment that did not meet these standards, but I never seem to have that sort of luck. We have casement windows that crank outward, and supposedly we need devices (rated above) allowing 4" or less of egress. I have only found ones that are $100 each and take weeks to arrive. I need them for 10 windows, and I need the alarms for 6 doors. I did order those at $76/ pop.
Does anyone have specific models to look up, particularly for casement windows? My builder is no help aside from the ratings I mentioned above. My poor kids deserve to have their parents off of the computer, searching for expensive products we will install once and then never use again... THANK YOU!!!
