I'm looking for a good source of window bars (burglar bars) that meet fire code.  The only one I could find with a quick release won't work with the windows I'll be using them on because the sill is too close to the floor.  I looked into rolling shutters but they are just way to expensive.

I'm looking at Mr. Goodbar for a basement window I want to secure but still keep it to code since it's counts as a bed room.

That is actually the one I saw that I cannot use.  The mechanism drops too low and would hit the floor on my windows because the sill is very low.

Could you install them upside down?

They drop down from the window so someone couldn't break the window and be able to reach the mechanism to release it.  I think the top of my window would be too close to the ceiling but even if it wasn't my wife and kids wouldn't be able to reach it if I installed them upside down at the top of the window.
