FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for locking a door. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a door bracket assembly which has the capabilities of hanging multiple utility items.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The door barricading or door locking is not a new field. Traditionally the door locks are a cross bar that pivots from a hinge assembly and is mounted to a door frame. Further, barricade the door, the cross bar pivots down to engage a locking brace that is attached to another part of the door frame.

Other door locks include the latch type locking mechanism or the screw type locking mechanism which needs a lot of strength to complete the mechanism.

An issued U.S. Pat. No. 10,125,525 assigned to Michael Presutti discloses a lock positioned on one side of the door. The lock is fixed on one axis and the other axis is pivotal for latching the door. Though the patent discloses a system that is easy to use still it fails to provide a secured locking as the other side of the door is not secured.

Another US patent application 20210324667 assigned to Maglock llc discloses a lock system for a door. The lock system engages or locks the door from both sides with a sliding member. The system includes a sliding member to extend the first end to the second end and a locking bolt moving outward to do the final locking. Although, the invention is advancement to the prior invention as it provides the locking from both the sides of the door. Still the system fails to provide a easy to use and affordable locking system.

The present invention seeks to provide an improvement in the field door locking, more specifically, but not exclusively, in the field of door locking with additional features. The devices in the prior art are difficult to use, an elderly or a person in a wheelchair. The prior art devices either not provide complete security still would likely prove inadequate. As operating these devices is complicated and may be unsafe, thereby increasing the likelihood that a door will not be barricaded in time to prevent an intruder from entering the room.

Therefore to overcome the shortcomings of the prior-arts, there is a need to provide a door locking assembly to provide easy accessibility. Moreover, the door locking assembly is provided to secure the door from both sides. In view of the foregoing inventions, there is a need in the art for providing more security with multiple hangers to hang any utility item to overcome or alleviate the before mentioned shortcomings of the prior arts.

It is apparent now that numerous methods and systems are developed in the prior art that are adequate for various purposes. Furthermore, even though these inventions may be suitable for the specific purposes to which they address, accordingly, they would not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described. Thus, there is a need for an advanced and accessible door locking assembly.
