Security is a fairly large part of my desire for the storm windows,
actually. Anything that a burglar sees that he interprets as a slow down
gaining entry may make him move on to the next house and leave yours alone.
I have three Larson Secure Elegance storm doors on the house that feature
the Solutia KeepSafe security glass. It is supposed to be able to withstand
a brick hit, a direct crowbar strike, etc and while it will crack and break
the laminate keeps it from coming apart and so it remains as a barrier to
entry. The doors are installed with one way screws every other screw, I
hope I never have to try to remove the door-- I would need to drill each one
way screw out...
