Our Coop board is preparing a memo regarding proper installation of window air conditioners. Since we have metal frames we do not allow drilling into them.
Does anyone have a good set of instructions on how to do this? Most of what I can find is based on drilling into frame, etc.
Thanks,
David
There is a universal bracket for A/C's. It come in two sizes for use with different sizes of A/C's. However, I would say that drilling to the structure or the the frame may be essential to maintain the bracket in place.

There is no other way to mount the Universal Bracket unless you drill into the window sill, if you have aluminum windows heres a tip, apply some caulk around the screws threads and then screw into the sill to make a tight weatherproof seal.

There are universal bracket of at least two sizes, depending on how large and deep is your AC that may be used. However, I would say that drilling may be essential to maintain the bracket in place. For your info, it would be best to anchor the AC to a window than having an A/C fall on someone's head.
