Just be sure you get adequate liability insurance to cover your
posterior.

I'm wondering where I'm open to liability , since you're the
second person to mention insurance coverage . Perhaps in the event
one of my units fails ? I can't see the bar unit itself failing ,
but perhaps the surface it's mounted on ...
The risk is imbeciles. Someone pays you X thousand $ to bar up all
their windows and doors. Then the house catches on fire, and they
can't break out. Then, they sue you for "killing" their family
members. Jon

And they'd be right. As a professional, you have the obligation NOT
to do something stupid. Like the patient who says, "Doc, go ahead
and take my brain out. I hardly ever use it anyway."

As an equipment operator, a crane operator, a welder, and lots of
other crafts, when some clueless person tells you to do something
stupid and illegal, you don't have to do it.

Like when yo mama said, "If Johnny jumps over the cliff

But I did , and Johnny and I both survived ! Of course , Johnny is a
quadriplegic now ... My brain is churnin' , by the time I build the first
set for a kid's window , I'll have an answer . Had some great suggestions
already ...
