It has a bar at the time that firmly secures to the window without screwing into the frame, which is the only thing I used to keep it in. It has been two months, and there is no issue with stability.

We understand your inquiry about using the LG 8,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner with Wi-Fi Controls, model # LW8017ERSM1, with non-screwed-in locks or braces. The LG LW8017ERSM1 comes with a window mounting kit designed for secure installation. While the standard installation typically involves screwing the side brackets into the window frame for stability and security, the unit itself does not inherently prevent the use of alternative, non-screw-in window locks or braces. However, for the safety and proper function of the air conditioner, it is crucial to ensure that any alternative bracing method provides a secure and stable installation that can fully support the unit's weight and prevent it from falling or shifting. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8-000-btu-window-air-conditioner-with-wifi-controls-white/6554576.p?skuId=6554576 Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport if you have any further questions about your LG air conditioner, and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions.
