Windows and sliding doors

Windows and sliding doors:
Window locks can be easily pried open, and sliding glass doors or windows can be lifted out of their tracks. Therefore, secondary locks should be installed on all windows and self-tapping screws in the upper track allow the door or window to slide into place. A square-edged length of wood placed in the bottom track will resist lateral forcing. Most windows can be pinned for security. Drill a 3/16" hole on a slight downward slant though the inside window frame and halfway into the outside frame. A nail or pin can then be placed in the hole to secure the window.
