Thanks for all the replies, guys. I think you've convinced my wife, and our updates will be simpler without the keyed lock on the levers. We're changing to levers partly for style, but also because my wife is having more trouble with tendons in her wrists. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

You’re right. If you are an outdoor cat you will be eaten by coyotes. There are rattlesnakes. And there are break-ins rarely but no home invasions or the like...yet. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Use impact rated glass. You can still kick it in but breaking glass is out. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

Theoretically. Of course the theoretical flip side being, your door jamb now has two holes drilled in it, making it weaker and easier to break. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||
