Great easy security option

Really happy with our security grills. We used the window bars and attached these to the door face to enable the door to still be functional and also act as a strong visual deterrent. Easy install and product arrived with all the screws and fixings we needed. The team at DIYXpanda was super helpful answering my questions before purchase and items arrived overnight. Would recommend.
