Maybe you saw the TV commercial... The lock maker said we have a lock that can't be picked. Actually most burglars couldn't pick their way out of a paper bag. But they don't need to. All they need is a hammer and break one pane of glass, reach inside, and open your door from the inside. Now one thing that a lot of people do is replace glass in an area like that with an acrylic plastic. It is a material that you can see through just like glass, but it won't be broken. You can hit it all you want to, and it just won't break. Also, this stuff is very easy to work with. If you need to drill holes in it, why, it's very easy to do. It's also easy to cut with a power saw. You can cut out to accommodate anything you want to. We did this for the lock up here. We also drilled holes, and we have sheets over both of our patio doors. We can still see out -- it lets all the light in -- it just made it a little harder for the neighborhood burglar to get in. |
