Gatehouse Gatehouse 36-in x 48-in Black Steel Window Security Bar

Welds/Finish are embarrassingly horrible!

I've only opened one of my 36x48 security bars and I was shocked at how terrible the finish is on it. There were spots where there was no finish/pain, but worse, it looks like a kindergartener tried to weld it together and apply finish. I bought these to put on a fixer-upper home in a sketchy area, and I'm still a bit embarrassed for people to see these, that's how bad they look. Unfortunately I am a busy person and live 2.5 hours round trip from the store, so I'm basically stuck with this junk...

Priced right for a deterrent

It was built exactly as depicted. It is not a heavy duty material.

Everything was as was expedited

Solid, like the quality, the only thing components wasn’t available at the store to purchase ride away.

Not handled well by lowes

The guard is very well made and tough enough. I bought about 20 of them. The Lowe's staff handle them by dragging on the floor that stripped its paint I don't like. This is a scene I saw and hardly forget.

Fits great

Looks good and fairly easy install. The security bolts are hard to work with, but I discovered a universal socket gets a good bite on the screwdriver blade edges.

Single women

These are great I have them all around my house they're a great thing to invest in women. I just Love them
