I don't even like burgular bars with the quick release. When I was a teenager, I lived in a house that had those, but I only learned what the knob on the wall (the quick release) was for until a year after living there. I always thought it was for haning up my clothes (maybe that's why I didn't want to know what it was). I think if someone is panicked and suffering from lack of oxygen, they are not going to be able to get out in a timely manner. I write them up every time, no matter what.
"Burgular bars installed on bedroom windows may prevent a timely escape in the event of fire. Recommend removal."
