  • 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: 10689890
    Abstract: A device can include a door member mounted to a swinging door, a connector, and a fastener. The door member can include a slot open at the top and bottom and an outer face. A bore through the door member can align with a bottom of the slot. A first end of the connector can slide into the top of the slot so a first leg extends through the outer face and a second leg overlaps the soffit. When a fastener is in a first position, the fastener can extend through a bore in the door member and support the connector in the slot and block the connector from exiting the slot through the bottom. When the fastener is in a second position, the fastener does not block the slot and the connector is permitted to drop out of the slot through the bottom.
