You can get a huge variety of custom made security bars and even
decorative iron work and fencing at
GUIDO
They manufacture, and have a showroom, in SW Philly (maybe 63rd near
Bartram or Woodland?).
They are not the cheapest and not the most expensive.
You can get iron security in almost any size, color or sizing that you
want.
They can create custom pieces while using a lot of mass produced
components, and
they are a good sized company, so there are some economies of scale and
some veracity to delivery dates.
They are also a good source for the grills that go over doors and for
security storm-screen doors.
Personally I am more afraid of the potential threat of house fire than
criminal, so I removed all our bars, and rely on Fluffy and Dobby for
safety and companionship.
Best!
