Folks I had a guy come out from Armor Glass to give me a quote on 8 mil security film for the back of our home and the front door. Have any of y’all had security film installed on your glass, and or experienced an attempted break in and the film prevented it or it failed. Open to any and all recommendations. Btw, he did give me a tip that he said was an easy fix: change out your 90 degree locks for 180 degree locks. Just make sure they have same 2 1/4” mounting holes. Said it was fairly cheap to do that. Thanks in advance.

They make security screens as well that can’t be cut with a knife. I do not have any pics of 180 degree locks. Basically he said that anyone can simply punch a hole through your glass with a screwdriver and push a 90 degree lock open. Thus the need for a 180 degree lock. For the entire back of the house was $2747.00 with a veterans discount. I’m hoping that someone can chime in that has film on their windows.

You can still raise the window or get out of a door. Basically it prevents glass from shattering inside your home, you can get the tinted version as well that saves energy. In an attempted break in it can save buy you a few more minutes as well.
I’m getting some age on me now and have a 25 year old special needs son that lives with us as well. So I can use all the help I can get hardening our home.
