Do I need security bars on all my windows?

Most people find they like the added security of bars on their basement, back door, and garage windows. Security bars can be used on any window in your home or business, especially remote, out-of-the-way, or poorly lit windows.

How can I protect a fire-exit or emergency-exit window?

Our Keyless Quick Release system will allow you to quickly escape your home in case of emergency without compromising your security.

Will security bars make my windows look ugly?

No. The attractive design and white powder coating blend in with any décor. The powder coating also works as an excellent base if you wish to paint them to match your home.

What prevents a burglar from cutting through the bars?

We insert round steel rods (roll bars) in all of our horizontal tubing. These roll bars resist being cut by a saw because they simply spin around, making it nearly impossible to cut through the tubing.

What is to prevent a burglar from reaching in and undoing the screws?

We include metal inserts with the mounting hardware. The Robertson style screws that we use have a square hole in the centre of the head. After the bars are installed, tap the metal inserts into the heads to fill the hole. This makes the screws tamper-resistant and extremely difficult for anyone to remove.

Do I need special tools to install the bars?

You will only need a tape measure, pencil, Robertson (square head) screwdriver, drill, and small hammer. A level is also useful.

Is hardware included for installation of the bars?

Yes, you will find mounting screws inside the package, along with detailed installation instructions.

What should I use to secure my patio door?

The most effective way to secure your patio door is a steel bar, screwed into the frame and the door. The MR. GOODBAR® Patio Door Bar prevents your sliding door from being lifted out of the track and removed.

Which windows in my home are most vulnerable?

Remote, out-of-the-way, or poorly lit windows are the most vulnerable. Typical examples are basement window, back/side door windows, and sliding patio doors. MR. GOODBAR® has a secure solution for each of these situations.
