Briefly, let's take a look at glass in your homes. Take the sliding glass door that your homes have. Not much to them, right? Just regular glass with a metal frame around them that moves back and forth. Not if you're smart or prepared.

You can replace the glass in your sliding glass doors with material which looks like glass but isn't. It's not plastic either which will eventually turn foggy. It's some new material that the security specialists know all about. This stuff is also unbreakable. So you have a clear material that you can see through but it won't break like regular glass does. So Joe Dirtbag throws a rock at your patio slider and it bounces off. His noise making alerts you and your dogs which begin to raise Cain. He can't easily get into your home so you have a little more time to get ready to greet Mr. Dirtbag in the manner that he deserves.

Most sliders pop right open when you apply pressure to them near their locks. They're just too flimsy to be secure enough, right? Not with the sliding door your security expert can show you. The whole frame is reinforced so that no amount of pressure will allow it to pop open with a simple push from the screwdriver. And the extra lock, the second one that the new door has on it, almost means that your slider is as secure as Ft. Knox. When you couple two locks on the door with an iron bar at the foot of the rear of the door as a blocking mechanism, well.... Let's just say you'll sleep a whole lot more secure at night.

Most of this stuff is common sense. We have the technology to improve our security of our homes and the safety of our families. Couple good technology with forethought and you get to live safe.
