Company to install window screens?

Does anyone know a place that will measure and install window screens for my townhouse? I have about 10 windows i want to get screens for. Also around how much per screen?

My last coop tried to use Park Slope Windows and after 4 months of jerking us around, they told us they lost the order. I'm hoping for a place that does them quickly.

Thanks!

Anyone used Shatter Gard window protectors?

I saw something in an old post about Shatter Gard protectors. Anyone have it installed? More importantly, has anyone had someone (a burglar?) try to gain entry and was deterred by the Shatter Gard? I want to secure my house but don't want to get ugly security bars. Also would anyone know how much it is for materials and installation?

If you get a security door, make sure it's double keyed or else someone can just break the glass, unlatch and open. Some of the security doors at Lowes only have key access on the outside, which i don't understand. Maybe it's just for the illusion of security?
