We are doing a kitchen renovation now, and will be replacing a window in the kitchen with french doors. Because of space and aesthetics, we think that out-swinging french doors will work the best (as opposed to inswinging, or sliding.)
However, we are concerned with security – and it was suggested to us that we have an ironworking shop fashion some decorative grille/bars for the doors.
Any other thougts?

Also, what kind/brand of doors? The budget is tight for this, but but we do want the doors to look good. Fiberglass doors aren’t grabbing us, we like wood – but it’s pricey, and also might warp in the future. All advice appreciated!
