What style of barricade on your door do you think is best?

[JimmyJockstrap]

The yellow is the 2 possible places to bolt (with no nuts attached for quick removal) a 2 by 4 or some metal tubing to the floor. Would it be stronger to put it on an angle or straight on.

- or \ ?

Red is the interior walls of the house and black is the door. This is an aerial view. Grey is the natural path of the door.

So would the yellow or green(lime) be better design.
With the lime one you would have it flush against the door and the interior wall with then ends cut pointy to fit.

Would this be better than putting one on your door like you would see in rush hour when chris tucker meets his cousins at the poool hall?

The green piece would be cut at an angle to fit flush.

Yellow. Normal force applied at an angle to the closed door to yield maximum torque.

But green probably takes up less room.

I cannot provide a definitive answer on which style of barricade is best for a door. It ultimately depends on various factors such as the material and thickness of the barricade, the strength of the door and surrounding walls, and the force that may be applied to the barricade during a break-in attempt. However, I can offer some considerations for each style.

The \ style barricade may provide more stability and strength due to the angle of the barricade against the door and wall. This could potentially distribute the force of a break-in attempt more evenly and prevent the barricade from breaking or shifting. However, it may also be more difficult to install and remove quickly in case of an emergency.

The - style barricade may be easier to install and remove quickly, but may not provide as much stability or strength as the \ style. It may also be more vulnerable to being broken or shifted if a significant amount of force is applied.

In terms of the green and yellow options, the green barricade may be more secure as it would be flush against the door and wall. However, it may also be more difficult to install and remove quickly. The yellow option may be easier to install and remove, but may not provide as much stability or strength as the green option.

Ultimately, the best style of barricade for your door will depend on your individual circumstances and preferences. It may be beneficial to consult with a security expert for personalized advice on the best barricade for your specific situation.
