The Lender Has a Condition

Turns out we can't get the loan unless we have the security bars taken off of the windows. We are supposed to close in 6 days but the lender won't lend us the money until the bars are taken down. Why? They are considered a fire hazard because they don't have an emergency release.

We checked to see if we could take them down ourselves so that we can get this done faster. The seller did not complain. We want to close on time so we don't mind taking care of. Closing late over security bars? Not an option.
