ABSTRACT:
An improved door brace. The brace includes an elongate canted arm having an upper end which interlocks with a door and a lower end contacting the floor at a point spaced away from the door. The upper end of the canted brace arm is shaped and dimensioned such that when forced entry is attempted the door is compressed into interlocking engagement with the upper end of the arm. The interlocking engagement of the upper end and the door enables the brace to more effectively resist shear forces which tend to separate the upper end of the brace arm from the door during an attempted forced entry.
