So against my better opinion (sigh...), the g/f has decided to buy a condo on the ground floor in the Beltline. What's worse is her patio door is in close proximity to the main door and does not have much in the way of fencing and shrubbery to discourage people from walking right up to the patio door. There are also two windows facing the main street. The patio door is ancient, I'd say 30 years old, and is your typicaly sliding door thing. A blocker bar is in place to reinforce the main "lock".
Adding bars would not likely fly with either the condo board or the g/f so I think that's out. Does anyone have ideas on how to secure the patio door and windows for 1) when they're open and 2) When they're closed?
