- 4 Various Levels of Security for Anti-Intrusion
Many videos out there demonstrate security film with optimum circumstances (Thick commercial glass, blunt instruments for breaking like a baseball bat, etc..) We wanted to make a realistic video with a sharp rock being thrown at 100% and a crow bar which will rip the film faster than a bat, and thin glass on weak frames commonly found inside a home. All films are 7 mil safety film / security film.
Please note:
Yes, the tall guy swung the crowbar like he was auditioning for Gilmore Girls. But he actually wasn't holding his punches for a dramatic effect. Glass was flying back at him intensely when he hit the door and he actually got pretty cut up by the end of the day; next time we will wear more protective clothing and give it more.
Yes, there are thicker films. These can distort or haze the glass which isn't ideal for residential customers.
Yes, the perpetrator could just bust a hole large enough to unlock the door. But most people have a wooden stick at the bottom of their slider because slider locks are ineffective, so unlocking the door is useless.
Yes, it would have been faster to just lift the door out of place. Of our dozens of customers who have been broken into, this has not happened, not once. We aren't keeping out secret agents here. We mitigating the random act of petty burglary by deterring the individual.
Yes, they can still get in. However, we have not had one customer in the last 10 years call to say their house has been broken into AFTER the film has been applied. Quite the contrary, we have had a number of thank you notes from our customers that have stopped attempted break ins after we have applied film for them.
No, we don't make a dime from posting this video. We aren't trying to sell anything. This is purely educational.
The security film comes with a lifetime warranty and is invisible on your glass.

I'm a cop and I absolutely loved this video. Everything you said about break-ins was spot on and your demonstration was realistic and honest. Good work!
Thank you for your service.
People don't understand this is a security film, not bullet proof glass. Combine this with a good home security system and or cameras and you'll be pretty well off against bandits
Don't forget a big German Shepherd!
I found this very useful because it made me appreciate the legitimate protection I am going to get if I am on the other side of the glass. If someone throws something hard at my head ... its probably going to punch through and hit me in the head ... but if someone is trying to physically get in ... a few layers of plastic film can buy you time to get into position ... and fight back.
and before anyone says it ...... yeah if they are using a gun ... I get it lol
Awesome demo in a RL setting. It is very much appreciated!
For comparison, laminated glass used in basic hurricane impact windows uses, as a minimum, a 90 mil (.090") layer of a tear resistant vinyl sheet bonded by heat and pressure between two layers of glass. Impact glass is designed to stop a 9# 2x4 hitting the glass at 50 feet per second.
Good show! IF they are trying the patio door force, this will buy essential time to prepare. If they are smarter, they may try the window 5' away. Good reason to secure all accessible windows.
Looks like the first hole on all these demo's give hand access to the security bar inside the bottom of the door and the inside door handle. The intruder would not need to break all that glass to get in. Still the film causes a delay, which is also a deterrent.
This deserves millions of views
Having this plus a security alarm active will definitely stop/deter most criminals
But does it set off glass break sensors or render them useless? I would rather be able to hear the glass breaking to alert me.
@floridaangler4066 it would because a lot of those alarms don't detect the sound of glass breaking but rather the vibration cause by the impact.
When my home alarm went off I quickly silenced it so I could hear what was going on and then I coded in the panic alarm.
Enjoyed this one. Nice demo and demonstration. How about if I just put in another set of doors behind the first set? Both with film. By the time he broke through, the robber would be too exhausted to carry away any of my stuff.
Good video, what brand is the film? thanks
We do a lot of 14mil residential, as it’s really the only film besides 15 that’s tested for forced entry. I just haven’t had a chance to do a demo. Exterior residential isn’t great here because of our hot summers.
Very informative, thanks for your efforts! 👍🏻
I feel like once they have a hole big enough they are just going to reach through and open the door from the inside handle.
This video is really great thank you
I got this stuff on my work van. Hoping it never needs to be tested but glad it's there just incase.
Sound dangerous man. They make tools specifically to break car windows so you can get out in an emergency.
@user-nu1wp4pw9o ya I took it off of the front windows about a year ago. But I still have it on the back windows. (Cargo van). You can't smash your way into the back through the front because there's a partition.
@@sages101 Makes sense. Stay safe man.
Great video man
Is the first level just a daylight install with no attachment?
Great video, thanks. Hope you didn't get any cuts!
Impressive! I have 2 questions.
1. What does "attachement" menas?
2. Could you get te same protection if the glass is not tempered?
Attachment means that you're using a caulk type silicone sealant to run a bead around the edges of the film to "attach" the film to the frame of the window or door. This will bolster it's strength considerably.
I like to use the following in my security film installations: www.amazon.com/dp/B000KZYJ8E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_J0A32GAD5JABJ5PA3E8P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
By the way, there are technically 2 types of glass used in homes: annealed and tempered. Tempered glass breaks in millions of pieces and requires "attachment" in regards to security films. Annealed glass is the glass the breaks into giant, dangerous shards. You can get away with NOT using an "attachment" on annealed glass but I use it anyway - I like over-engineering. Lol.
Fyi, places that tempered glass is used in a residence is around any doorway and around any tub/shower in the bathroom.
Thank you for asking this question. I had no idea what "attachment(s)" meant either. I knew to use the silicone bead, but I had no idea that was the referred 'attachment'.
@@unherdac Thank you for answering the question. I had no idea what was being referred to either. I also knew to use a silicone bead & would have chosen what 'I' thought to be a good one, but having a suggestion is definitely preferred.
man never thought I'd be here because of badboyhalo, but this is actually really interesting to see tbh
yup
Still no match for the criminal snorting up some PCP and fly through the window like Raiden shouting HaayahbuhbuhayeeEE.
you the man.. awesome video
1) Is this demo on a tempered glass slider door?
2) Do you recommend attachments on residential windows?
3)If you do put attachment does it cause problems opening /closing the windows?
He yes this is very thin old tempered glass in this video. The thicker the glass the stronger it will be.
If the application lends to it, I like to recommend an attachment. However, it is a thick bead of caulk that only comes in black and white. Will it match. Regarding opening problems, the caulking does not go beyond the actual window frame. This is often very thin on residential windows which would therefore make the attachment pointless.
@@enhancedglasswindowfilm7536 thank you for clarifying the nature of the attachment. Very helpful.
So if you just hit next to handle two hits, unlock door and enter?
I hate sliding glass doors for patios and even showers. They look nice, but that's about it.
The security film is better than nothing, which is what I have now, so it looks like I'll be getting it for my doors.
He was having entirely too much fun :)
Realistically a few smashes by the lock and you can reach in and undo the lever, boom 10-15 seconds even with the film
Excellent video - better than people who just take crowbar/hammer and just halfheartedly hit the glass - at least you guys really put some muscle into the hits. Though realistically all the person needs to do is make hole big enough to reach in and open the door. And that was probably more likely to be around the 15-20 seconds time. I have been considering security film but at the points where they would enter, I doubt anyone would hear that glass breaking. At most this would just slow them down for about 30 seconds. I think I will have to consider an alarmed system.
If the sliding door is key locked, reaching in won't help.
A film slows them down.
It will deter some. It won't deter all.
the alarmed system will be useless if there's a power outage...
So if you put the film on just one side, say the interior, does that mean the window is harder to penetrate from one side than the other?
No, because the film will still hold the glass in place, if it was a dual pan you would just be breaking on side before the other
Can this be used on double pane glass? I've read a few things that say this might cause the glass to crack.
Most of the security films on the market are optically clear with no "tint" or coloring to them. It absorbs no heat, so the clear safety films are perfectly safe for double or triple pane glass.
If I were going to only use one layer, should I put it on the interior or exterior? Or would it even matter?
Interior so the glass has something behind it. With film on the outside only the glass would *likely just shatter and blow straight out the back since the force would come from the outside of the window
Do i need tO installed oN both side? How about If the length Of the Security film less 5 cm than windows, such as window length 157 cm, film length 152 cm does it Will impact ?
@Rnv Z
- No, you don't have to install the film on both sides. However, you'll have about 30 seconds from the first hit of the glass until they're inside your home or business. With both sides covered you might have 60 seconds 'till they're in your home.
The film needs to cover at least one window fully or whoever is breaking your window will only need to hit the glass two to three times and they'll be inside. The film holds the broken glass together when hit. If one area has no film, that area will fall away and the film and broken glass can be pushed out of the way very quickly.
If you need 157cm of coverage, buy at least 157cm of coverage.
Man i love your clip
hey buddy, what do you suggest for me to get, which brand of security film is the best?
We have used many different name brands and have found that most are comparable. I am not sure about the brands of security film that are offered directly to the consumer however because we always buy bulk for dealers. Sorry!
Good vid
The crowbar part sells me on this cuz it’s so loud.
Slow down playback speed to .25x observe at 1:02 - which way does the glass break? Glass is highly elastic: it *bounces* when struck.
Bulletproof?
I like the happy 😊 burglary music 🎶
What does 'Attachment" mean?
It is also pretty easy to pop that door off the hinges.
They just need to get to the handle so a small break in seal is all that is needed. An alarm works better.
Which company film is this. ?
I love that we're all here for Bad's home securuty class 😍
Is this single pane ?
Try 30Mil on the outside 2 PCS 11mil w/ 8mil tinted & 3 X 7 mil on the inside outside 30Mil & 21mil on the inside Total 51mil ! All first floor leave ! “ what’s the best sealant/ construction Sealant to put around the outer edge of the film to glass / window frame ? “
Hi boss, what does the w/ attachments mean?
A previous post stated: "(@unherdac) - *Attachment* means that you're using a caulk type silicone sealant to run a bead around the edges of the film to "attach" the film to the frame of the window or door. This will bolster it's strength considerably.
thank you@@quallzone6219
Merry Christmas

What is attachment?
Wired electric lead inside window and start explosive switch when glass was intruded.
On my front windows I put on 3 layer inside BDF 7 mil each layer 7x3= 21 mil inside & outside 4 layers 2 layers clear 7mill , 1 layer tinted 8 mil & 1 layer of anti-shatter proof 11 mill 4 layers 2x7=21+8=29mill.+11mill = 40 mill outside & 21 mill inside total on my front windows is 61mill security film ! I spent a few hundred dollars ! I found when you put clear window film over the window tinted film it blocks more of the visibility through which the Velcro window film 11 mil appears to be very shiny reflective at a point over the window tent makes it more difficult to see through but be known at night they can see through if there’s a light on you need such a dark film to block all virtual ability how are you doing is trying to resist the enemy from seeing what you got !
What is the brand name?
doesn't it take 45 days for security film to completely set?
Why would someone happy gilmore the glass for 3 mins instead of taking the crowbar to the sliding glass door frame and removing the whole door instead
Definitely a baseball player
I just want to know if your band aid was because you cut your hand during this experiment haha
Anyone else here because of the recent riots?
Yes, but mainly to have more time to grab a firearm.
hope you're ready for this next massive lockdown; this time the economy collapses
We are heading into uncertain times my friend. We must all protect ourselves and our families.
Who did those riots? Any particular group?
@@RuskiVodkaaaa when
So instead they just pry the slider off the tracks and avoid breaking the glass altogether.
There is no reason for a thief to take out all of the glass. In most cases, all they have to do is punch a hole, near the lock, and, simply unlock the door.
Can you explain what you mean by "attached". It doesn't clarify that in the video unless I missed it.
The film is attached to the window frame by a structural adhesive caulking.
Late to the comments, but they wouldn't beat the crap out of the glass until they can walk in, they would use the rock and then reach in and disable your lock mechanism.
Hurricaine window?
Why stop at 7mil? Use 16mil and double that up and exterior.
Make a hole, reach in and unlock the door???
Many sliding doors have a lock on the bottom as well as the handle, including a rod of some sort. Mine has a lock on the top and bottom, and you can't see them from the outside. And this was a demonstration of the film, not the intellectual capacities of someone breaking into your home.
Good advertisement for a gun commercial.
So basically barely any extra protection. 30 seconds isn't going to deter anyone when there is no one else around.
They were in at 25 seconds on the last test where his compadre jumped in, not 48!
: ) It seems like that. But we had already accidentally cut ourselves about 3 times this day before we got to this window, so I (being said compadre) wasn't interested in cutting my self again. That glass is sharp! If we do another video, we will certainly wear smarter clothing. Thanks for watching!
What about house fires?
Unlock the door, slide it open, walk out.
How is this a real question?
There not going to keep hitting it like that too much noise there going to take the same crow bar and pull the window out if they want inside your house they will get in might as well put bars!
1:08 The dancing burglar
Yea but hows 2 my kane corsos supposed to get outside to rip every last ounce of flesh off the idiot that just broke my door
Wish you had done a 12 and 14mil. 7mil isn’t classified as “security film” 8 Mil and above. 7 is safety film but I’m sure you knew that
Hey thanks for the input! Yes we have installed 14 mil. Not as optically clear so we dont really recommend that to residential customers. Also, they dont make a "12mil" in an exterior film, as far as I know. If you know of a manufacturer, please let me know. Thanks man.
American standard window film make the 11 & 12mil
@@enhancedglasswindowfilm7536 Do these numbers refer to millimetres in thickness or some other unit ? Eg 7 mil = 7mm thick ?
@@AlexAlcyone Silly me ! Thanks for the explanation.
Hey bro what type of anchor did you use?
Seriously guys? How about you punch through near the knob and use only your hand to reach for the latch and/or the security bar if applicable. Then all you need to do is slide open the freakin door.
Just pop. The lock.... though.. no 1 is going 2 do all that
That door is a $80 slider door from Walmart I think… 😂. Outside slider or French doors are way stronger then that and they have safety glass that doesn’t break like that.. if they did there would be 1,000,000,000 break ins an hour lol.. 😂
We feel a reply to this is necessary due to its inaccuracy. The VAST MAJORITY of sliding glass doors BY FAR, even the expensive ones, are tempered glass and will all fall like a mic drop with one rock. (Very few come with laminated glass unless specifically ordered by your builder or door installer.) Our customers face this unfortunate reality regularly. One recent example is the horrific entrance into the Nashville school. A rock will drop glass the same as a bullet when it's tempered, which sliding glass doors are by code unless they are ordered as laminate, which is much more expensive. czcams.com/users/shortsdXrnXSaxyqY
@@enhancedglasswindowfilm7536 I live in a winter state and our French doors and sliders are all laminated and dual pane usually because of cold weather I’m guessing? unless your buying your stuff cheapest possible.. so yeah maybe where you are but not here. Hammers bounce off the glass for the first couple swings then it’s sweatin time to keep hitting.
How many people found this video from BadBoyHalo’s late night home-security class?
Break it once then unlock the door
I guess I need 2 layers. 48 seconds would buy enough time to get the M1A loaded and aimed.
those are some weak ass crowbar swings, do you even want to break through the window or just waste time?
On the second application the glues does not all want to squeegee out there like off white dirty water streets that won’t squeegee Out ! Think “ Twice if you buy or go with a better company “ ! I probably would not buy again !
Hi Mark. I'm confident we have never sold film to you because we do not offer DIY products. We only offer our products with professional installation from our company. White dirty water would be an application error.
Tactical 45 mil works best.
So in reality, 10mill is much better to keep one out, even 14 mil
HIT IT LIKE A MAN
He probably could have gotten in at the 15 second mark lets be honest
Just put metal door and the burglar will take one look and move onto the next home.
We all know criminals don't want to work.
Haha stupid criminal. Just go in the other door that’s already broken!
Jk. Awesome stuff.
Or just throw a rock through, and unlock the door.😂
Or you could hit it once with the crowbar where the interior latch is. With one small hole you can then simply lift the latch and slide the door open. You don’t need to break all of the glass to gain entry.
If you’re concerned about glass patio door security, either don’t have them or install solid exterior doors over them to close when you’re sleeping or not home.
You are assuming too much. We know nothing. Please explain what the 4 types are. Ty
Bullshit. Just break were door knob or dead bolt is at and stick hand in and open door
It's not that impressive If a thief has really determined to break into your house to steal it won't stop him!
It's not designed for stopping someone who'll spend 30 seconds making all that noise before going in. If you have neighbors who hate you, or are deaf, or are miles away, this obviously isn't the solution.
this dude swings that crowbar like he swings his purse
I'm finding that all these sales guys are like that. Hit it like you mean it!
he is not even hitting it hard, you can tell he works for the film company.
And if the first whole on my sliding door is from a rock, the second hole will be from the inside out, from a shotgun
You gonna need these for joe bidens America 🇺🇸
Think Twice if you are unable to squeegee out the glue !
Not a good video.
So the security film, especially on both sides, deadens the noise of the breaking glass.
Bad demonstration...the weakness of the security film is around the window edges (frame) which you can push in once the window is cracked.
He is repeatedly striking the center of the window. All you need to do is push in one edge of the film to get inside, you don't need to remove the whole
window to gain entry.
The only way to really make security film somewhat effective is to remove the glass from the frame, install the film, and re-install the glass into the frame so that
the frame sandwiches the film and glass, providing adding strength. If you install the film only on the visible part of the glass (and not the glass inside the frame),
then all along the edge of the frame is the weak area - crack the glass and push it in around the edge of the frame.
So security film is worthless; got it.
Hit it like a man......U play ball like a girl.
