Claim:
1. A door securing device adapted to resist significant opening of a door when set to an engaged configuration and adapted to allow opening of the door when set to a disengaged configuration, the door securing device comprising: a base member including a base end and a first joint portion; a monolithic deformable member extending along a length between a first end and a second end, the first end including a second joint portion and the second end including a catching portion; a configuration joint adapted to configure the door securing device in the engaged configuration and also adapted to configure the door securing device in the disengaged configuration, the configuration joint including the first joint portion of the base member and the second joint portion of the monolithic deformable member; a catch member including a base end and a catch, the catch of the catch member adapted to directly engage the catching portion of the monolithic deformable member at least when the door securing device is resisting the significant opening of the door in the engaged configuration; and a shield positioned circumferentially around the monolithic deformable member, the shield adapted to resist cutting and thereby protect the monolithic deformable member from the cutting; wherein the monolithic deformable member is adapted to deform and thereby increase the length of the monolithic deformable member at least five percent when resisting the significant opening of the door.
