Abstract:
1. A door security apparatus, comprising: (a) a channeled extension beam having a longitudinal axis, said beam is adapted to fit over and removably engage a pair of adjacent door edges of a pair of adjacent doors that are in a closed state, wherein said beam is operational to substantially secure the pair of adjacent doors in the closed state; and (b) a ratchet cap assembly having a threadable engagement with a beam externally threaded element adjacent to said beam with an aperture therethrough, said beam externally threaded element being substantially symmetric to a rotational axis that is substantially perpendicular to the beam longitudinal axis, said ratchet cap assembly only having rotational axial movement along said threadable engagement with the application of a manual external force approximately parallel to the rotational axis toward said beam, an extension member and a clamping member are both in slidable axial contact with said ratchet cap being disposed through said aperture therethrough and are operational to clamp and unclamp said beam to at least one door edge.
