|
|
| Our house is like a cave. It is so dark it's crazy. I would like to change our front door for one with a large window in it. The door has to be changed anyway, but we were wondering what would stop a burglar from gaining entry by breaking the window. Our only other option is skylights, but that will be a major undertaking. |

| You can get doors configured in many ways. One option offered my many top manufacturers is security glass that would prevent or at least make it extremely difficult for a burglar to penetrate. Additionally, you should use locks that can only be opened with a key. So even if someone breaks the glass, they still can't open the door. |

I never thought about the lock thing. The door we have now does not have that kind of lock. Maybe I will be changing sooner than I thought  |

good idea.after close the door if u switch on the electric bulb is not good for home.and one and more window are require in home so the work of air cooling does itself.also we get a daylight of sun.so your idea is not wrong.
