A door frame profile and reinforcement assembly to increase the resistance of an entry door and door frame to forced entry by an intruder. Increased resistance is achieved by fitting and securing a U-shaped bar within a machined slot in the back of the door frame and attaching a shaped plate or plates that fits within the shaped bar and retains the door's throw bolt of the deadbolt and/or latch of the door lock. Optionally, with stronger door frames, the shaped plate alone may suffice, and the plate can be modified to a simple L-shaped form, a portion of which is inserted into a narrow groove which replaces the machined slot.

Various disclosed embodiments include a lock assembly. The lock assembly includes a lock bolt. The lock bolt has a lock bolt body and having a bolt security engagement feature formed as part of the lock bolt body. The lock assembly also includes a receiver. The receiver has a receiving area for receiving at least a portion of the lock bolt and the receiver has a receiver security engagement feature formed as part of the receiver. The receiver security engagement feature is complementary to the lock bolt security engagement feature.

Disclosed embodiments include a mounting apparatus for a sliding security barrier that includes unique security features that ensure the sliding security barrier is secure and does not suffer problems that exist with conventional security doors and windows. The sliding security barrier is configured to be implemented using tracks that are common to conventional sliding patio screen door or windows. Additional security features include a unique striker plate, a lift protector at a corner, adjustable top and/or bottom channel caps, an interlock, and a uniquely shaped lock. These features provide greater security at a lower cost because they use an existing sliding door or window sash and channels but provide a secure attachment that inhibits tampering and removal of the sliding screen barrier.

A security door hinge assembly is provided, comprising a door frame structure, having at least a head member, a first jamb member and a second jamb member, and at least one door leaf. The door leaf further comprises a leaf frame structure, having at least a top rail member, a bottom rail member, a hinge stile member and a lock stile member; an inner leaf panel, mounted to a first side of said leaf frame structure and extending past said hinge stile member, so as to form an inner leaf flange; an outer leaf panel, mounted to a second side of said leaf frame structure, opposite said first side, and extending past said hinge stile member, so as to form an outer leaf flange, and wherein, in use, said door leaf is operable between a first closed position and a second open position. The security door hinge assembly further comprises a hinge chamber positioned between said first jamb member and said hinge stile; a hinge-mount bracket, coupled to said first jamb member; a hinge mechanism, having at least one pivot axis and which is located within said open hinge chamber and adapted to pivotally mount said door leaf to said hinge-mount bracket, and wherein, in said first closed position, said inner leaf flange is in an exteriorly overlapping engagement with at least a portion of said hinge mount bracket, so as to prevent access to said hinge mechanism.

An apparatus that can be installed on an existing door to provide improved security. The apparatus has first and second door brackets that are installed on the interior and exterior surfaces of the door, respectively, and together increase the strength of the door in the region near the door handle and/or deadbolt. The apparatus also has a door frame bar that is installed on the door frame opposing a vertical outside edge of the door and one or more door hinge bars that are mounted on the interior surface of the door near one or more door hinges. The apparatus can optionally have a reinforcing bar.

A security door system includes a door frame, a door, and an astragal. The door frame has first and second vertically extending side members that define an opening therebetween. The door is disposed within the opening and is secured to the frame via a hinged connection along the first vertically extending side member. A gap is defined between an edge of the door, that is opposite the hinged connection, and the second vertically extending side member when the door is in a closed position. The astragal has first and second plates that are secured to an outer surface of the door. The first plate extends beyond the edge such that the first plate covers the gap when the door is in the closed position. The second plate extends from the first plate in a direction away from the edge and toward the hinged connection.

A door plate has a main body with a front side, a rear side, a top side, a bottom side, a first adjacent side, and a second adjacent side. The main body includes a handle aperture and fastener apertures. The handle aperture is configured to receive a door handle of the door. The handle aperture is formed through the main body from the front side to the rear side of the main body. Each of the plurality of fasteners is formed through the main body from the front side to the rear side. The main body has a depth defined by a maximum distance between the front side and the rear side of the main body at the second adjacent side of the main body. The depth of the main body militates against a prying of the door with a crowbar where the main body is installed on the door.

A door or window assembly includes an opening bounded by a frame including a hinge jamb (12). A panel (18) is hung relative to the hinge jamb via a hinge arrangement (20) so as to swing between an open position and a closed position. An engagement configuration includes a ledge (22) located in fixed relation to the hinge jamb, and a flange (24) rigidly associated with the panel. The engagement configuration allows me panel to swing freely between open and closed positions. In the closed position, the flange (24) is brought into facing relation with the ledge (22) such that force directed to displace the panel (18) within the plane of closure away from the hinge jamb (12) acts to bring the flange into engagement with the ledge.

A security door system having a door that includes a door frame comprising elongate door frame members, each having a first holding channel formed therein, and a clamping portion spaced from the first holding channel. The door further includes a mesh covering an opening enclosed by the frame. In addition to the above, the security door system includes a wall frame comprising elongate wall frame members operably coupled to the door frame by one or more hinge members, the hinge members facilitating pivotable movement of the door between open and closed positions and one or a plurality of security members configured to prevent or inhibit levering of the door relative to the wall frame.

A security device for a window frame includes: a base which is generally L-shaped in cross section with horizontal and vertical legs, wherein at least one of the legs of the base includes a base snap connector; and a cover which is generally L-shaped in cross section with horizontal and vertical legs, wherein at least one of the legs of the cover includes a cover snap connector configured to engage the base snap connector.
