Super Anchor DW Door and Window Safety Bar Temporary Anchor
The Super Anchor DW Safety Bar is a heavy duty door and window jamb anchor for interior tie-off protection using a window or door opening. The bar is placed against the frame and adjusts to the vertical sides to give a safe, secure, temporary anchor point. It fits openings from 24 to 48 inches wide.
The DW Safety Bar is fully adjustable, lightweight aluminum, and easy to install. It provides a single user tie-off point for use with a vertical lifeline or self-retracting lifeline, and it works during construction or in finished structures.

Who Needs This Product
The DW Safety Bar is a temporary interior anchor for trades that need a reusable tie-off point where a door or window opening is available. It suits construction and work in finished structures where a permanent anchor is not wanted. Complete the system with a full-body harness and a vertical lifeline or self-retracting lifeline.
