ABSTRACT:
A door security apparatus is provided which uniquely bars a door in a closed position when installed, but which leaves minimal hardware around the door when the door is not barred. The preferred apparatus includes a cross-member which carries two cylindrical end sleeves at opposite ends thereof. The cylindrical end sleeves releasably attach to extension members supported by mounting plates and extending beyond the plane of the door. The cylindrical end sleeves of the preferred embodiment slidably engage a hinge cylinder of an existing hinge on a hinged edge of the door and an extension member of a special side support on a latched edge of the door. If the existing hinge is opposed by other hardware, such as a door knob, then two special side supports may be used above or below the existing hinge. The preferred apparatus is formed from an extruded central section and two telescoping members which are telescopically joined to opposite ends of the central section. The cylindrical end sleeves may be chamfered along one edge thereof to accomodate spacing constraints encountered with typical decorative molding that surrounds the door.
