Here is a video on a ballistic film for glass panels. This may come in handy for a home security project, but may be a little pricey. The product is from a company called ACE. Their web address is http://usace.com/ .
I just recently viewed a video from shattergard.com. It shows the above door security device called the OnGard Door Brace in action. I must say it does a pretty good job. Below is the same video I watched. The company has this to say about the product which is located on their website:
The majority of home security devices serve as psychological deterrents only. Alarm systems, “Beware of Dog” signs or even surveillance cameras are simply not enough to stop the new breed of violent criminals. For instance, when an alarm sounds, typically the intruder has already entered your home. And sadly, criminals can do the “unthinkable” between your alarm sounding and police arriving on scene. Simply stated, alarm systems rarely keep the bad guys on the outside of your home. Don’t allow inferior security devices and methods lull you into a false sense of security. Consider these alarming statistics: In the United States:
A burglary occurs every 15.4 seconds.
Approximately 1,596,008 burglaries occur annually.
Approximately 1,300,000 violent crimes occur annually.
Up to 78% of break-ins occur forcibly through a locked door or window.
Enter the patented ONGARD security door brace. Unlike an alarm system, the OnGARD door brace actually prevents a criminal from gaining entry. Five years in development, the unique two-piece design utilizes both the strength of the existing floor and a space age polymer – the identical material in US military fighter planes. Praised by locksmiths, security professionals and even law enforcement, the OnGARD easily withstands up to 1,775 pounds of violent force, resisting door kick-ins, sledgehammers and even battering rams. Easily install on most wood, concrete or tile floors, etc.
