I don't think that these are very secure. I recall that the aluminum braces that held the louvered pieces were easily bent. Okay if you locked yourself out, but easy for a burgular to get past. I recall that my parents had these in Honolulu which they replaced with the hand crank-type windows. These were the ones with the glass louvers, maybe not the type you're looking for.
