As I read these article, I was thinking who would bother picking a lock when there are a lot of windows on the house. I can visualize someone with 10 locks on a door saying “I’m safe now”.
Actually, I was surprised how much effort it took to break a pane out of my french doors in the back of the house. Those movie scenes where the actor hits it with his elbow? Pure Hollywood.
I had to remove a bottom pane from our french doors to put in a dog door.
I put the door on sawhorses and tapped it with a ball peen hammer: nothing. I switched to a towel and whacked it with a framing hammer. It shattered, but the molding held most of the glass in place. It was a chore removing that dang 10x12" pane of glass.
