Thank You Rick...

 

Thanks Chuck!

 

I've only seen steel or SS security screws...

 

I'll be making door push plates out of some really attractive brushed finished brass sheet that will cover up the screwhead pattern on the inside surfaces of both entry doors..... So the nefarious person would first need to remove the push plates in order to get to the binding bolt screws....

 

Thanks!
Credit goes to the design firm that have an in-house colorist that picks all of the colors, textures and materials.... The owner keeps going through different GC's and subs from past jobs because of "issues".... But I keep getting asked to participate and so far he's never complained about the metal work...

I have a rather close relationship with the design house.... I get pulled in on the early stages before any work gets started.... Everything is still on paper, so I'll make recommendations from a metal standpoint followed up with "Value Engineering" efforts. Then it's "off to the races and Katy bar the door"

He's happy and I'm happy

From Wikipedia
Catherine Douglas, later Catherine "Kate" Barlass, was a historical figure who tried to prevent the assassination of King James I of Scotland on February 20, 1437. She was a lady-in-waiting to his queen, Joan Beaufort.

Legend has it that during the King's stay at a Dominican chapterhouse in Perth, a group of men led by Sir Robert Graham came to the door searching for the King in order to kill him. The King's Chamberlain, Robert Stewart, Master of Atholl, had removed the bolt from the door of the room in which James and his queen were staying.[1]

James fled into a sewer tunnel as the queen and her ladies quickly replaced the floorboards to hide his location.[2] Catherine sprang to the door and placed her arm through the staples to bar the assassins' entrance.[3] However, they forced the door open anyway, breaking Catherine's arm, and discovered and killed the King. From that point on, according to the story, Catherine took the surname of "Barlass".
