Brazen Break-in At My Office

we have a castle doctrine and stand your ground, some days it sounds like Mogadishu around here with everyone practicing intheir own back yards for people like that
 
Peoples Republik of Kalifornia. Not shocked.
 
The panic bar is screwed into the door frame, and the screws just snapped right off.
What is a 'panic bar'? I do not understand. Was the door locked? It looked like it was not and he just yanked it open.
 
Good idea, simple combo will make it easy to remember during high stress time. Too complicated the brain might go blank.

I might not remember 4357, a number like 1234 seems to be a better choice.
 
Brain must be the same guy who was vacuuming with Walkmans on 30 feet away from me when my hand was crushed in the Pasta Machine at Donnatelle's and I was waving and yelling as loud as I could.
Makes me miss all the Crime at the Condo in the back parking lot.
Guy looks a little bit like an NFL cornerback who used to play on the west coast.

I like to use something that is really easy to remember like 9999 or 1234. To add another term to the mix, some call it a duress code.
My only concern would be with how closely someone is watching them.

6321 could be fun ambush code for installers at everyone's least favorite alarm company. Practices like user code backwards or user code plus one are typically frowned on these days due to ease of false alarms.
 
I have Ring for my home alarm and they call it a Duress Code. There is no cancelling it once you put it in. It acts exactly like a normal code and will disarm the alarm but also serves as a panic button when you put it in.
