Abstract
Abstract A pair of left-end and right-end clips which are each installed with a pop rivet to the left-end portion and right-end portion, respectively, of an existing glass panel of a jalousie or louver. The installed clips each overlaps a panel mounting bracket to prevent the removal of the panel for stealthy, illegal entry into a building. The clips can also be used to secure the panel when the existing brackets are broken.
