  • Publication number: 20230220710
    Abstract: A security device can be provided to selectively restrict or prevent the opening of a sliding door, sliding window, or other sliding panel or other closure. For example, the security device can include a base plate that selectively engages a barricade member (or lock rail). While the barricade member is engaged with the base plate (in a locked state), the barricade member and base plate cooperate to restrict or prevent the sliding door, window, panel or other closure from moving to an open position (or moving out of a closed position). The barricade member can be moved relative to the base plate (to an unlocked state) to allow unrestricted movement of the sliding door, window, panel or other closure. The security device can include stop members that may restrict or prevent complete removal of the barricade member from the base plate.

  • Patent number: 11447991
    Abstract: A door security device can include a door member mounted to a swinging door, and a connector. The door member can include a slot having openings in at least one end and in an outer face. An end of a first leg of the connector can have a shape configured to mate with the first slot to permit the first leg to slide into the first slot such that the first leg extends out of the first slot through an opening in the outer face of the door member and such that a distal end of the second leg interferes with a surface of a door frame to prevent rotation of the swinging door relative to the door frame.

  • Patent number: 8888146
    Abstract: A security device for a sliding door or sliding window assembly comprising a base plate and a removably interlocking stop member. The base plate is securely fastened to the floor or window sill, respectively, in close proximity and along the path of movement of a sliding door or sliding window, by means of a plurality of openings for receiving screws. The stop member, while engagingly disposed in the interlocked, in use position, prevents the sliding door or sliding window from opening at all or past a predetermined point. The base plate and stop member are each formed having an interlocking means element, adapted to receive, matingly, the others interlocking means element. The stop member features a blocking element, which projects into the path of the sliding door or sliding window, while in the in use position. Removing the stop member allows normal movement of the sliding door or sliding window.
