great info karl. my main concern with buying online is getting duplicate keys. but i plan on getting additional keys with the purchase. Every dealer i've called locally charges around the same plus or minus $100. of coarse when if i buy a medeco online, i would have it shipped to my office or my parents/friends house.

i thought about going the schlage priums brand, but i don't think many places sell them locally. most locksmiths will charge a premium as well.

karl if you can still get deals or know someone, let me know.

if regards to having a window broken - thieves will avoid making noise at all cost. my motion detector would catch them inside the house if they made it in.
