I tell all overnight visitors that, in case of fire, make for a
window, not a door.

You do NOT have to sacrifice security for a potential fire.-

so what keeps the burglar from using a window?

The pane containing the lock is not barred, it is a sheet of diamond steel
gridwork. Plus the knob in encased in a 1/8" metal cylinder about 1.5" long.
You can get your fingers in it, but not a tool.

If the do-bad with the stink-eye manages to defeat all that, there's still
the shotgun to contend with...
