Identifying Seitz/Dometic windows

[Jake Royd]

Can anyone advise please.
Is there an easy way to identify which model of Seitz/Dometic windows I have?
I'm talking here about is it S4/S5/S6 or S7 etc.

Looking at the ID in the corner, maybe i'm missing the obvious but nothing jumps out.

Of course age will have something to do with it (2008 Chausson)

I want to buy either LockMouts or the Reimo suplied Metal channel rails but need tell which windows I have.

The catches have the 'double tongues' on them so I think they are S4/S5 ?

TIA

Yes there is a number etched on the perspex window outside, eg my van is fitted with S4 windows.

Bedroom - two windows AGS50900X0450
Kitchen - one window AGS50800X0450
Lounge - one window AGS51000X0600

Leisure Spares of Boroughbridge stock some spares but many have to be ordered from Germany.
You could find other cheaper options possibly on eBay

Yes, I've answered my own question!
In your examples above ignoring the 'AG' bit you then read 'S5' which is the type of window.
Also the numbers following eg '0800' in the example given indicate an 800mm wide window and presumably 450mm high.

It's these things that interest me.

For Lock M Out they have info. on how to pick right one here https://lock-m-out.co.uk/identifier/ but if in doubt just email them with a photo & sure they will be able to advise.
Womo-Sicherheit ones https://womo-sicherheit.de/ in the video are better again but a more permanent & costly option. They do an interesting bar lock for the roof windows too https://womo-sicherheit.de/sicherheit-fuer-dachfenster/

For sliding windows too https://womo-sicherheit.de/sicherheit-fuer-schiebefenster/

For anyone interested - the manufacturer doesn't ship to the UK but as Jake Royd mentioned one retailer Reimo does https://www.reimo.com/de/D-camping_...eit/DNX-fenstersicherung_wohnmobil_wohnwagen/

Thank you for your replies.
I shall have a look when I have checked all the windows.

I'm not sure the Lock M Out's add that much security, proof against the catch being turned but they add very little in resisting a brute force attack.

I have 2 sliding windows , the Lock M Out for those looks a better bet. I will have a look, I think they are too small for an adult to get in via.

The German rails look very effective, fiendishly expensive and as mentioned above , not that easy to get.

As far as I can find out they are only available here:-

(EN - )

I had not realised they do locks for the roof lights.
I did find the German website and navigated it via Google Translate. This took some time.
I could not find a way to order via this, as again mentioned above.

Onward and Upwards in Lockdown , another project looms out of the mist.

In the end I concluded:-
The Lock M Outs don't really look man enough for the job, both the normal window ones and the ones for sliding windows.
The German Reimo supplied ones are excellent but there does not seem to be a solution for sliding windows.

The Lock M Outs for sliding windows used the keep from the existing window catch, so the load of a brute force attack is still only resisted via these two fixings. No good having superbly secure normal windows and vulnerable sliding ones.

So replaced my Milenco window alarms with hopefully better ones.

Hello, I have a question please. I have 6 of these on my motorhome , all have new batteries and I have tested with a multimeter that each little stack of 3 batteries is delivering 4.5v to the device. 3 start up and bleep immediately and work fine. The other 3 sometimes start fine but very often...

Sligh;y faulty logic in some places but Heigh Ho.

(Reimo sell strut things supposedly for your sliding windows but I could not see how they would work)
