Since safety is obviously the driving force behind any of these considerations, it is also important to consider the fact that windows must sometimes be used as an emergency exit. In these desperate moments, a window is, in fact, sometimes the only option for escape. Windows with security bars installed can no longer be used to make a quick exit in the event of a disaster like a fire.

Cristina … something I just needed to do. While the construction of the bars is solid, the attachment of the bars to the window frame is not. It is held on by wood screws. I would think that a burglar could open the window, then kick in the frame. The only thing working against the frame being kicked in, is the short-length wood screws. I would suggest that holes be drilled through the window frame, and bolts passed through the entire depth of the frame, from the outside, with double nuts on the inside.
I know there are some motivated douchebags out there, but again I feel good that I am providing a reasonable amount of protection where there was once none. Agreed; there is much more protection than existed before. Anything to stop a burglar is great.

Cut the conduits to the length of the frame, smash both ends, then drill the holes through the center of the frame and smashed end and secure bolt with self locking nut on the inside. Each bar has two jalousies between them. It is almost invisible if done between the screen and glass. I use seven bars per window because I want the top open in case of a fire.

Due to the way robbers break-in, this tip will help secure your home. Robbers shatter the outer glass to get to the sash lock and unlock it to get the sack up or pry up with a crowbar.

Clamp the metal, cut out metal strips to fit within the square as indicated in your pattern, and weld.
