Thanks Canadian Prepper. I want to be big like you one day. 😊
1 per door ? how about 3 ?
Once a door is breached people can rush in. Can come through a window, but slower which allow time for home owner to deliver lead poisoning and more potential for glass injury.
.
I'd like to see this product tested with a reciprocating saw. See how it stands up to a diablo blade. It'd be an interesting follow up test.
Years ago I was doing demolition job at old steel fabrication shop, well the place was abandoned for many decades, but there was a feont office room where the door would not open, we tried everything to break that door down, we tried sludge hammers, old fashioned body weight, rams like police use, nothing would work the door moved in and out about 3 or 4 inches but we still couldn't see what was in the way of it
Well i eventually had get a ladder and go in through front window to the office, well i got in through the window and when we realized what the obstruction was we were laughing our azzes off big time, it was a rusty hollowed out tin broom handle that could easily have been bent by half by hand, but the way it provided leverage and was set up it would have taken a freaking bulldozer!!
6” rebar stake at the bottom of the door. You can always bend it in from the top but you arent climbing through it. Water charge will get it moving though.
I started my career as a carpenter 40 years ago repairing houses after break and entries and fortifying them to prevent further break-ins. Unfortunately one of those houses turned into a drug house and when the police tried to get in they couldn't break the doors. After that they held a little conference in Montreal and the next time they found a place that was that well fortified they were allowed to use small explosives and that's when I got out of the B&E business and just did regular house renovations.
SCHOOLS NEED THIS!!! I know it is hard for you to see all the post but truly this should be in every school and every room. Churches too!
It might be a bad thing though. When the networks show us videos of the cops standing outside the school they have to remove the audio of the children screaming. Making the doors harder to get through would increase editing costs. It would also increase labor costs for law enforcement, since they'd have to wait longer for the incident to end so they can go in and start the clean up process.
@@bdgackle
it would be bad if the perp got in then used the barricade to keep the good cops out - the cops that do what is right instead of listen to stand down orders for hours and hours
Are they bullet proof?...🤔
Lol
I built mine out of a single piece of steel L Channel. I bought a 4 foot piece. I cut off {2} 4 inch pieces for brackets. Use a grinder for a slot to fit the remaing piece.
Schools should install these in classrooms in the case of an incident
Thanks for this door security method . Actually , here in my country Uganda , we once used that method of door security in the early 1980s as our family when Uganda was insecure . We used metal hinges and then attached some pieces of wood whenever we went to sleep . We used at least three . So it's not new here to us in Uganda but ....thanks for that idea because...it's really security proof
My hats off to that company I plan on getting one. No two of them
hope you don't have any windows!
As a firefighter. I once responded on a fire, where they had secured the door in a similar manner. 2x4, secured in a bracket.
The guy trying to breach the door, bounced off several times and kicked it so many times, the door literally broke in half.
If you are going to do this, I would recommend two.
Here is the caveat tho. If you have a fire, you will have that much more trouble getting out. Firefighters will have that much more trouble getting in to rescue you and suppress the fire.
I would recommend something like this for a business, but for a home, only has an emergency backup.
Nowadays you're more likely to have a home invasion than you are a fire.
Only for a SHTF emergency
I’m sure that you firefighter guys don’t like surprises like this, just as much as cops, if house burns down due to you didn’t come in, it’s fine. It’s not your fault, so go sleep peacefully.
They don't have a chainsaw on the fire truck
@@hawaiiangunneryou should never cut through a door blindly. Unresponsive people can get cut.
I was a locksmith for years and you can get metal door frame mounts that makes the door 1000x stronger and makes the doorricade alot stronger.
This was on my mind when it comes to "Dooricade" bar,its good stuff and all that but if frame is crapy...than what intruders will just bust out the frame,i use to work for Door company making doors with frames,newer install them,but i get the idea,if frame is bad,i am not not sure how much will Dooricade help,maybe a little bit,i dont know
I solved the problem! I got rid of the doors,just have windows now.thank you😂🎉😁
Need to have the windows secured too. Your home is only as strong as it's weak link.
y fight the door if the window is 'opened'
I bought rolls of constantino wire. No one is coming in my house when shtf happens
This gives you time to grab your defense tool
Windows? LCD natural light panels you mean.
Still have to switch to the window. Security film is an effective option. This would be enough to completely deter a smash and grab.
It would also buy you a few vital seconds, in case there is an entry team stacked up that requires a helpful and potentially life saving lesson in the difference between cover and concealment.
🎉Great for an
apartment door. Mr. Arkopia! Nice to see him.
Nate: Practical advice to slow down a perpetrator. A few seconds of deterrence can mean time for reaction time response. Nice job!
this is why most of the usa specifies wood doors....they want to make it easy for the cops to kick in.
I was a cop who bashed down hundreds of doors executing search warrants. The easiest doors were metal with a wooden frame, inside opening. The strong door held together delivering all of the force from the battering ram into the bolt that tore right through the wood. A metal door in a metal frame could be a lot harder, they took three hits instead of one. Outside opening doors are to hart to bash in, so we used a special pry bar that we set in the jam and popped it right open in a few seconds. Having two deadbolts, one high and one low on an outward opening door was the hardest, they had to have the ram set twice to three times costing a lot of time.
I live in the USA and no wood doors here. Never heard of such a thing. Plus I have outside storm doors so, double doors.
Long screws are key.
@@jamesjusick1462 This is why i put a 2x4 across my door. Using half a inch thick brackets the 2x4 slides down into.
Or maybe because wooden doors are cheaper? Why do people always go for the malicious reasons
Wouldn't they just break a window??
Or go Through "Garden Doors "!
If it is a home invasion then they don't want to climb through a window
It gives you time to get to a weapon or get your family safe and secure while calling 911
Everything has to be secured and this is a good 👍 idea for your doors people get serious before things become serious
@@gabrielcruz4915there won't be no 911
I made something similar with a 2x4 and brackets from HD. Having scrap wood and excess drywall screws, the only costs were the brackets which amounted to less than 5 dollars.
Yeah I'm planning on doing this too. Most people will go for the doors first. My only problem is a i have a large glass sliding door on the other side of the house. There's no way for me to secure it.
A big window gaurd with a hinged section
Super great product, word of caution. If you live in Earthquake country, and if you experienced earthquake, your door jam could be pushed out a line, you won’t be able to take that off from the inside, you’ll be trapped indoors so be aware.
🛑 using drywall screws, they’re brittle and have low shear strength. Spend $7 on 3” deck screws.
Thank you Dean & Nate for trashing a door and frame to demo this for us!!!
Edit: I can’t believe the frame survived! Well built Dean.
My parents have always had this (I'm 48 now) and remember as a kid someone trying to get in and they couldn't! My friends always thought it was weird but I think it's awesome and saved us.
Without removing the casing, you can drill and counter sink thin screws or nails above and below the hardware to offset the need for shims. Some door jambs may need a recess chiseled out to allow the metal to slip in. Nice design.
I can vouch for this product, my mom who lives alone got one months back and installed it herself. She’s in her upper 60s, I checked out and it does seem really solid
I put a 2x4 across my basement door that put into a bracket which uses bolts attached to the frames. For the windows, I put up a piece of plywood, and used 2 2x4s at the top and bottom to secure the window.
My HOA would have a fit if I put plywood over the windows😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@mylegalassistants The benefits of living on a piece of land and not in a HOA neighborhood, I dont have to ask permission.
Oh I have two Dooricades for my outward facing doors!! Love the feeling of physical security.
For my sliding glass doors and windows I had professionally installed security film - the type used for business storefronts to prevent/slow breaking glass entry by providing a physical barrier that resists chopping, gunfire, explosives. Yeah expensive and worth it! But the Dooricades were easy to purchase and install for minimal cost.
I actually purchased this. Thanks Nate. Somebody noted that windows are also a soft spot... other than bars or maybe plexiglass.... kind of hard to reinforce them. All I'm wanting is enough time to get myself in a defensive position where I can severely punish the attackers. The thing about most modern homes is that they are really very flimsy - you can shoot right through the walls from outside and of course inside... so if you really want a secure home, you're going to have to build one custom with bulletproof materials or reinforce your existing home with bulletproof panels which are very costly.
most american houses are fragile and flimsy wooden contraptions. In the EU those houses are considered as a joke.
@@sinenomine4540 Well, my house is very well constructed and very energy efficient. But it is not stone or brick or whatever traditional building method comprises most of the houses in the EU.
3M Safety & Security Window Film
@@theoriginalOSOK so it's still a shack made out of flimsy materials?
@@sinenomine4540 Still having a bad day? OK then.
I installed one for a 32 inch door on my garage. Strong, light, effective, and it's "wife-approved". I just bought another for the front door, and am buying another for the back door next payday. It's so easy to drop the bar in place and remove it and set it aside when needed.
All the TikTok girls with pretty glass front doors and my house is an ugly fortress 😂
Kitty stretching season is almost here..
@jasonvoorhees5640 Jealous? Honey, it’s by choice. I couldn’t sleep if I had a glass front door.
@jasonvoorhees5640 You must be new to prepping. Not everything is about looks and appearance, which is the exact point of the post 🤣🤣🙄 run along tink tink
Exactly! I couldn't sleep with a glass door lol😂 these guys are giving off horrible creep vibes whyyyyyyyy 😮@@mimiseeyou
@jasonvoorhees5640how old are you? This is probably above your age.
Love the videos!! I hope everyone gets their hearts right with the Lord!! He is returning soon
Yes windows but there are options for that too. 3M Safety & Security Window Film. Completely eliminating entry isn't possible. You are buying time to get to your house cannon.
A few months ago, I bought some brackets used to accommodate A 2x4 , and bought the 2x4’s to make the same dooricade . I did 2 doors in my house for 25 bucks.
Over here in England my front and back door has 1/4" thick x 3" wide drop out hooks , when you turn the door handle up the hooks come down out of the door and into steel boxes with a bar the hooks fit over fitted in the frame . Sort of built in dead bolts that can't be pulled out of the frame when locked down . Hinge side has dead bolts that stick out the door all the time and when closed they fit into plates in the frame just above each hinge to strengthen the hinge points . Evewn the door keys are weird , flat with dimples and magnets to opperate the locks . Pretty secure as weve watched the police end up breaking a window to get into houses with the same doors fitted as they just bounce off them with their battering rams lol .
Knowing how a structures isbuilt is a major asset for ease of access to a building.
you are a real business man
Just make sure to park your vehicle or rv in front of your door, so they cannot use the open space to ram through it with their vehicle!
But what if they'll use a tank!?
WHAT IF THEY WILL ATTACK WITH AN APACHE?
@@sinenomine4540 RPG
Dragons teeth
Good advice thank you, hadn’t thought of that, but that’s definitely going to be inside of my strategies.
I bought the (Iron Dome Kit) for home use from Israel, It will protect my home from anything.
I have one of those bars, I also added a 4 ft metal kick proof jam to the door jam, has cutouts for the latch and deadbolt and has 3 inch screws mounted along the 4 ft length, but the weak part is the actual door, like in your demo, also have a security outer door, but that can be popped with a crowbar, but the concept was to appear tougher than the neighbors
Some firefighters out there are going to hate these things.
Probably a wireless doorbell cam would be a nice addition for secuirty purposes of course.
This be good for the bedroom door. Definitely not coming in my bedroom easily with this installed. Good idea. 👍
Nate I appreciate the informative information you provide.
dont thank him he is just working to make his business grow
That's a great idea. Problem with my home is, I have a French glass door, along with floor to ceiling windows on my deck, so the zombies are gonna go that route, I would assume.
Path of least resistance
Would need to install steel bars.
Plywood will work
Plywood a work
Now that you know that, time to fix that! 😁
I’m using a double set of steel brackets and steel barbell bars. I had 2x4s cut but they looked ridiculous, and the weight bars are much stronger.
Great idea!
Been on the fence about one of these thank you for making the content!!
If someone has the time and right tools, it's nearly impossible to keep someone out. What you want is time to react if you're there, and to make it so difficult to break in they give up if you're not. Some other tips: don't mount your deadbolt right above door handle, easy to kick in. Mount deadbolt near top of door, about head height. Dang near impossible to kick in then. Replace all your door screws(hinges, latch plate etc) with long 3 inch screws if possible. I've thought long about how to protect windows, and in SHTF situation, I'm gonna take heavy duty wire fencing and securely attach INSIDE the window. Yes, you can cut through with wire cutters, but the key is that takes time, time for you to react🤷♂️
Steel brackets mounted to the outside studs with 2x6's works well
Always solid knowledge drops from Dean. Love the impromptu framing lesson!
Living in a nanny state like Australia, reinforced doors are illegal. The cops need to know they can, at all times, break into any law abiding citizen's home.
That sucks 😕
Body armor as well, they need you to be defenseless so they are able to put you down as easy as possible.
What ?? no whompin and stompin required??
I’m in Canada. I think any country that is affiliated with the British monarchy are screwed.
They’re disgusting!
Where does it say that?. Have you not seen some of the big compounds around. (Bikies etc) There was even a story of a lady that had reinforced doors due to her ex stalking etc a while back now.
As I looked at my Dog
He was exactly like yours laying on the floor knowing I'm there looking after him
I’ve seen break ins where the front door is the ingress and there is definitely practically here. Might work well for a duplex or apartment where there are limited entry points. At least you can create a bottleneck if one entrance is eliminated. Realistically, the next option for someone or someones is to move to a window or glass door and walk out a door opened from the inside in a SHTF. Still love it. Would make a lot of sense in garage where someone might be willing to break in and steal a car or tools and not attempt the house where they might encounter resistance. Sad it’s come to this in most places.
There isn't anything to worry about
That was an impressive product for protecting your door. I better quality steel door and a second dooricade bar would make very a secure door. They also make upgraded striker plate and door latch combos as a single piece of steel to help reinforce the weak points that Dean pointed out.
this is a great item to have. I made my own for all my doors 5 years ago. I also have pre-cut plywood and 2x4s ready for all the windows.
Lol 😂 loved the video ❤ thanks guys for all the humor !
I need a couple of those.
Consider 2 then - the mid and the lower beam.
Get an ongard door blocker for the bottom of the door or a night lock which is less expensive
Y’all should do the same thing with door jamb armor and see how it compares
If you had no windows you would definitely be good to go. At least it would give you time to arm everyone in the house before they get through the door
I have a poorly made door that had the wood inside split in many locations. To fix it after gluing together, I replaced normal hinges with a "piano hinge" the height of the door. Several attempts to break in since have been unsuccessful so the roughly 100 screws in the piano hinge takes all the forces. On the latch side, a pair of interlocking metal plates meant to prevent getting tools near the deadbolt seems to be good (lots of tool scratching).
Move
CP, there's a style I recommend over the latch bar. I have seen ones that install from the floor and pop up from the floor or drop into place and hold the door closed from the bottom. That way it doesn't require major frame or door reinforcement.
Great product!
1. This is for security when you are inside the house. How to protect the house when you're away?
2. How can I fortify my front double entry door?
It doesnt stop intruders but guarantees to buy you time get ready for when the get inside.
Thanks for reminder of security ,I have a bar at bottom of door and I have some window jammers my niece has ordered some more window jammers they don't last long ,it's better than nothing ,I've ordered a large bar that goes from the floor into the handle ,I need more security so thanks for reminder I have to start some where with security as I don't have to much at present thanks for your help Nate ,the bar looks good only I dint have any one to fit one for now ,👍🤗🙏💖🇬🇧
Someone did a demonstration of that rod that goes from handle to floor and it was very easy for him to break it and get in.
That thing gives you allot more warning and time to get your 2nd.
Behind my secure door it’s all the security I need F around and find out.
I’m usually just trying to keep the police out
Watched this last night, thanks it was a breath of fresh air and a brain break as well. It was also a good laugh with great info. Thanks guys !😊
She has hope because of you and all that donated!
Most burglars come through the door. If they really want in, they’ll get in, but the idea is too slow them down, give you enough time…. I bought a property that had been vacant and broken into. I put a hasp and padlock on the garage and somebody still kicked the door open, I could see a big boot print right on the door. Another property had been a repo and I could see where the sheriff tried to drill the deadbolt. Didn’t work so they used a battering ram and split the door casing. I’ve seen the door casing split on a couple others too. Even a deadbolt with long screws going into the framing will help slow them down, but this device would slow them a bit more.
Who else is just waiting for Iran to pop off??
This ww3 is taking too long
I’m in so Cal so it’s a toss up between the Iranians and the Chinese 🤷♀️
The little swinging arm that locks in the large bar prevents someone from lifting the bar out of the slots. Some type of instrument, like a wire could be fashioned for that purpose.
Nice to see you guys having fun, wondering if this is appropriate for a condo ?
Most definitely for a condo!
Perfect for my glass decorative front door and my sliding glass door in the back
Cool video and concept
I live upstairs so I just realised two trap doors at the front & back doors, are important,
down the hatch you go
You guys are great together, made me laugh and think.
People are too resourceful and capable to just hold up in your house like this. Be the loud animal that doesn't seem worth the fight or risk.
I tried this and it seems to work

Most likely breach would be from kicking it lower, About 24" up. I would mount that brace lower, or better yet use 2 (one low and one in the middle).
I lived overseas in the 80's and I did this with 2" uni-strut (square metal tubing with an open channel on one side).
I wish I could get a steel door but I live at the beach and EVERYTHING rusts. After 2 years, my brand new steel door would be a total mess. I still have the original wood one from 1963.
Love it!❤
That was freakin awesome!!
Terrific, guys!
Thank you both so much! 👍✌️🇬🇧
They make steel brackets that you can slide a 2x4 into also, but where near as nice looking or concealed as this product
I think two - opposite the hinges would be great. Looks awesome
2×4 across doors worked good
Work probably better than this bar, $3 dollars at the hardware store
@@pizann350but it’s ugly as sin and if you got a wife like mine you’re lucky she approves of the much sleeker dooricade.
Awesome video! I love the idea!!!💯💯💯
There's videos online showing how a piece of plastic bottle can open those kind of lock..same for the one with the snapping end!!🤷♂️
Almost every door lock have a easy trick to open them..best is still reinforcing around the door and keeping a good plank a few screws and a drill so you can board the door as quickly as possible!!
There is no way these will now be in stock after that video! 😁
Great video nate thnx
This was an excellent and absolutely HILARIOUS video! What a great product!!
I used 2 heavy-duty brackets from Lowes, about $2,.00/each. I bolted down the brackets into the frame with 2 long screws. I measured 2 inches past the door frame to 2 inches past the frame on the opposite side. I then took a 38-inch 4X4, $2,00, and laid it over the brackets. I also laid a 4x4 from the door to up against a large bookshelf across from the door. No one's getting in this way.
well in germany that makes sence but here in canada you can come thru the wall of the house in less then 3 min in any given spot by using a hammer ...just a layer of foam if it is a nwe house and particle board a few inch insulation and a sheet of drywall...in germany you have concrete or 14inches cm thick bricks
Not a dis but an angle grinder cutting thru' the middle and you'd be in.
Packing some Paracord or some fiber in the hollow cavity would help snag the cutting disk or If it was a solid bar not hollow it'd resist more.
Hockey sticks work well too fiber glass or the aluminum.
It’s the long screws into the frame that make the difference not just another barricade
@@jc10907Sealy but when u don't have the cash it's the easiest option to use around the house as a barricade.
🤔 👍 if U put 3 one on each hinge would make it ruff to get in!!! My self I would go through a window path of least Resistance but that's just me😂
Or " Garden Doors "
I think I remember seeing this on shark tank or something similar!
No door is undefeated. Just buys you time that is all
And sometimes time is exactly what you need
This is a great product,just make sure you put 3 inch screws into the hinges..had mine for 2 plus years now...can we get something for glass sliding doors now,the only thing I could come up with is double sliding barn doors 🚪..
Good product, most houses take 30 seconds or less for entry
Just bear in mind there are often windows and other points of entry into places. Also walls are often pretty much hallow, as brick is usually only facade, and walls are made of wood and fill.. so doors can often be much more sturdy than walls surrounding them. You could likely get through most walls with just a hatchet.
If you had enough time
I'd say it was effectice against the battering ram -- it took longer to get through than it would for a person inside the door to disincentivize further ramming.
Ok, I agree. Two of these per door would be amazing. Seriously considering two sets of two for both front and back doors. Any good ideas for a glass sliding patio door. I know, kinda stupid question with a much harder solution. Just fishing for ideas.
I really liked this clip. Excellent product, great info great enthusiasm ❤
