Information on Window Security

If the entrance door of your home features glass panels, or there is a glass panel right next to the door, you may have a home security risk. Doors with glass panes allow light to travel through them and gives a beautiful view, but from a security point of view it’s not cent percent safe

It does not take much for an intruder to break that glass, reach in and open the latch, or turn the knob on the single cylinder deadbolt. Single cylinder deadbolts locks that are operated by using a key outside the door, but don't need a key to open inside. The simple solution would be to fit a double cylinder deadbolt. These require the key to be used on both sides and would indeed prevent the burglar from opening your door.

So what's the alternative? Window security film is a clear, flexible and impact resistant polyester sheet that is affixed to the inside of the glass. The burglar would to struggle and have a tough time breaking through it. It takes a good deal of force to shatter glass protected by security film and even then the shattered glass is still held in place by the film. With many weighty hammer blows a burglar could make enough of a hole to reach through the glass, but that would take a lot of time, make a lot of noise and likely attract unwanted attention.

Window security film is available in several widths and thickness and is generally sold in foots. Some types of security film impede solar heat as well as give protection against intruders.
