Abstract An adjustable, elongated security bar including two telescopic sections and having a depending leg on one end with an outwardly extending projection thereon which fits beneath the corner of the frame of a sliding glass patio door and having on the other end an arrangement or projections one of which is carried by a depending leg approximately the same length as the leg on the other end for positioning in the door frame track in the threshold. Another projecting member on the same end as the second leg projects outwardly and fits into the vertical channel in the door frame above the bottom corner to prevent dislodgement and stop the door from sliding. The projection on the second leg rests against the face of the second door frame which may be either a sliding glass door frame or a fixed door frame and still another projection thereabove projects in front of the second frame and blocks the frame and therefore the entire second door from movement. Another and second, outwardly projecting member is an alternative construction for a different type of frame.
In a security bar positioned on the fixed frame in a wall opening in which there is at least one first sliding door having a door frame in said fixed frame and in which there is at least one other second either fixed or sliding door having a door frame in the same fixed frame: a. an elongated, rigid, strong and adjustable security bar having a downwardly depending leg on one end thereof, said leg terminating in a short angular projection which is fitted beneath the corner of the first sliding door, said bar being supported on said leg above the bottom of the sliding door and being selectively adjustable in length to fit tightly between the first sliding door and the fixed frame, b. the other end of the bar being inserted against and abutting the fixed frame opposite from the sliding door frame in a tight fitting, c. and at least one other projection projecting inwardly in front of a portion of said second door frame to prevent said sliding door from movement and to prevent dislodgement of said security bar in a certain direction of attempted movement.
