I have a tall skinny window that does not open right next to my front door.
I want to mount a panel of poly-carbonate inside of of window to keep someone from braking the window and unlocking the deadbolt. Suggestions? Material? Best way to mount it? |

I had the same situation, many of these are a standard size next to the front door. Lowes or Home Depot has a factory retrofit that screws over the top, it adds a second layer of poly or glass with built in blinds.It was a snap to install, adds privacy and security.
You could also switch your deadbolt to a captive thumb turn, basically a double sided deadbolt with a removable thumbturn, Medeco among others make these. |

Quoted:
I have the same situation with a double deadbolt. All you gotta do is put the key out of immediate reach/sight from the window if you are worried for fire reasons. This should be a standard practice for any doors that have or are near windows that would provide access to the back of the lock when broken. |
