ABSTRACT:
A low cost, reusable, easily installed and removed, locking security system and method for protecting the glass in windows and doors. The bottom panel of the preferred embodiment is installed from the outside of the building against the bottom part of a glass window or door with at least one locking-pin suction cup. The top panel or panels are then rotated upwardly away from the bottom panel and secured successively against the upper part of the glass with cord-release suction cups which are individually pressed into place for best adhesion. Removal of the system is accomplished by unlocking the padlock on each locking-pin suction cup, and raising the bottom panel to reveal release cords attached to suction cups behind the It next adjacent upper panel. A downward force then applied to each of the exposed ends of the release cords, breaks the gripping connection between the associated suction cup and the protected glass. When all suction cups behind a panel are released, it can be raised to expose the rings for releasing suction cups behind the next adjacent panel until the uppermost panel is free to be pulled away from the protected glass. Neither installation or removal requires tools. As Also, installation does not permanently alter the window or door frame, or any part of the building surrounding the frame. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use in protecting windows in commercial buildings from such hazards as storm debris, vandalism, burglary, and unauthorized entry.
