Would a window that opens on the door be a security issue? i.e. would it make it easier for some one to pry it open and then just stick their hand in and unlock the door from the inside?

Maybe I'm thinking too much....

There is a post on the nation forum about putting a vertical slider in the door of an Rpod. Pictures and everything. Huron Sailer posted it.

We have a 152 which is the little brother of the 172 and therefore have no windows on the front of the rpod.  We were planning on putting the cute porthole window in the door like everyone else, but a google search produced this:


It's just like the stock window that comes with the version of our door that has the window option except that the window can open!  Does anyone have experience with this window?  Is it secure enough to open and close daily (door windows are typically held in place by the frames only).

There were some days that we had wanted to sleep with the door open for air ventilation, but for security reasons (racoons etc) we didn't.

I did just order the porthole window but this one opens! 

Any thoughts?
