[quote=DaCounselor]I use ADT but I have to add that it was 2nd to last in line on my checklist of home security. Motion sensor lights, heavy-duty deadbolts, window locks and window film all came first. And a new solid bedroom door and lock. Then ADT, then the 20 gauge. It does not take alot of money or effort to massively upgrade your home’s safety factor, so I figured why not? Also have a fire-rated safe. I’m not a survivalist kind of guy either, just common sense stuff that I used to never think about but over the years just figured if it doesn’t cost much why not go for the extra protection just in case.[/quote]
I’m curious about the window film. What did you film your windows to protect against?
Also, why 20 gauge? Versus something more robust and a better stopper (like 12 gauge)?
