Hello,

I had thought about that,but have concerns about safety (getting out
of house in case of fire, etc). I have 3 kids. This is why I do not
want to have it keyed from the inside.

Another advantage of inside keying is that if the goblins get in (say,
through the chimney), they still can't carry the swag out. To test this, try
moving an entertainment center through a broken window.

That said, consider bars for the glass or replacing the glass with the
impregnable plastic they use on jet fighter cockpits (I forget the name:
Jolly Green Giant or Michilen or something).
