Just curious on the sentiment here...
This is regarding home security. How secure is secure enough? I know things have been getting worse with an uptick in violence lately and was just re-evaluating my own home security which is already far above average.
My biggest concerns right now are windows / sliding glass door.
Already have fence, security system, cameras, dogs, reinforced doors, and of course myself inside, but I'm mostly concerned about the glass.
Do any of you worry about your windows / sliding glass doors being a vulnerable spot? Have any of you tried the security film or interior window bars? I was looking at "Mr Goodbar" a Canadian company that makes window bars you mount on the inside and can be opened from the inside via a swinging mechanism as well.
For the sliding glass door I'm at a loss of what to do without making it look too gaudy. I considered one of those accordion style security gates to mount on the inside and install a U channel at the top to give it more stability. I didn't really want ot replace the whole door and even if I did I would likely need some sort of heavy duty iron / hardened steel sliding doors and they are likely $$$$
Thoughts? Options? Too worried?
