Abstract: An entranceway barrier comprises two telescoping L-shaped frame assemblies having a ratcheting locking system that allows the barrier to be quickly inserted in a doorway. A self-locking ratchet mechanism allows the barrier to move outward exerting a securing force against a frame gasket placed in a doorway until the ratchet is manually released. A severable panel slides into a channel and is secured with a gasket channel seal to provide flood protection. Another embodiment comprises two telescoping C-shaped frame assemblies with two panel sections that slide adjacent to each other to provide adjustability.

Abstract: An entranceway barrier apparatus for blocking floodwaters from entering an entranceway. The entranceway barrier apparatus includes a frame assembly for selectively mounting in a lower portion of the doorway. The frame assembly has a main channel extending therein. The frame assembly includes a pair of L-shaped sections that are telescopically couplable. A plurality of locking members selectively locks each of the sections of the frame assembly together in a desired position when the sections are telescopically coupled. A main channel gasket is positioned in the main channel of the frame assembly. A severable panel member is positionable in the main channel of the frame assembly adjacent to the channel gasket to seal between the panel member and the frame assembly. A frame gasket seals between the frame assembly and the doorway.
