No it could not. Unfortunately it is just thin plastic used to deter birds. It is relatively easy to remove by hand.

The Bird-X Narrow Bird Spikes are not designed or intended for use as a security devise to deter break-ins.

No. This is made out of plastic. It scares birds; would not deter an intruder. We also bought bird spikes made out of stainless steel. These, too, would not stop a breakin.

the 9mm on the nightstand is the true deterrent. In all honesty there is nothing that will stop an intruder. this instrument prevents the inside window from going higher than where it is place. it does nothing to the outside window. double hung window all come with a safety device that whem enabled will only allow the window approx 6 inches to go up or down. that is what will prevent an intruder.

Thank you for your question! This product is designed to be used in the confinements of your home, and may not be effective for your situation.

Yes. I used one of these to secure my daughter's window this summer when we had a fan in it. No one could open the window more, but they still might have been able to knock the fan out of the window to the inside and then if they were small of frame fit through the opening left where the fan was.

NO. Also keep in mind, fence gates are not a tight fit. Not only that, on a breezy day... your alarm will be going off every 2 seconds! You would be better off with a motion detector facing an area of none movement that would intercept any movement. Hope this helps.

if your window vibrate (like shaking really hard) then yes it probably will. only i the doesn't shake your window like really hard.but its 10 bucks. try it, maybe you'll like it. although this is a very good product that help prevent people from breaking into your home.

This works by catching the door jamb. If there is a small gap in your exterior doors - it works well. We mainly use it on interior doors to keep kids out of rooms they don't need to be in without supervision. The door stays open a couple of inches, but is too tall for them to reach.

Very thin we used them to keep our little nephew out of our back storage room he bent the latch but it never broke. i wouldn't use it to protect anything worth value.

It didn't work to deter my teenagers, as they pulled hard and the "foam" padding ripped away from backing. That said, I had a "lock" on there that doesn't really look like a lock and they weren't paying attention and just grabber and yanked the door as usual (the door sticks, so we all used to giving it a good strong pull to open it under normal conditions). But to deter burglars?....just depends on how determined in burglars is. All they'd need to do is slip a sharp, thin knife between the metal piece and the door and cut the foam backing. Would I risk 1000s of dollars of food if I was using this on a restaurant fridge? No, I wouldn't, I'd figure out how to get some holes of some sort drilled into the fridge instead. Hope that helps! Good luck.

Martha,I don't think this will work on your application. If you can invasion a hotel room door from inside the room. This lock will only wok in situations like this. I hope this was helpful. I travel and use this lock to insure my door. Take care,

I guess you could use if for a front door, but then your front door is unlocked for anyone else to come and go...I would probably only use it for interior doors. It's so inexpensive though, it's probably worth a try...Good luck!

No, not unless the paint is already loose. I used it around a painted steel patio door all winter. The best weatherstrip I've ever used, but don't expect to open the door or window until the tape is completely removed.

I would think it would depend on the proximity from the window to the security bar. The closer the window to the bar, the greater the probability of them being able to disable it somehow.

No, when using the product inside only use it around window and outside door frames. It's not for use in high traffic areas.

This stuff is a sprinkle application that you would need to apply to the areas you want mice NOT to go. I used under my house along the edges and reapplied often and it did seem to help. I think it would work the same way if you put it in your car. This item has a VERY strong mint odor.

I saw that, too and I have kwikset locks on my house prior to watching that video. what would be nice is if the lock would alert you if someone tried to break into your house using that method.

I would not recommend for the front door even if it works- this would leave your frnot door unlocked and any body could break into your house while you are somewhere else inside.
