A QUICK REVIEW OF BRINK'S HEAVY DUTY DUAL FUNCTION DOOR SECURITY BAR 

It needs to be 15 to 18 inches from the door at the bottom, if it's to close at the bottom you can push the door open and it will give.

Thanks for JUST getting to the message. I HATE when videos have 23 minutes of rambling around the point!

Thank you. I am going to get this.

What about a field test you are thinking? Well just found this on another video so cut and pasted here: "Let me tell you guys this, first hand, in 2015 I was raided by the Feds and I had one of these security bars in place and it took them nearly 8 minutes to get into my house, the whole place was shaking sounded like an earthquake and finally the bar gave in and the door went down, I heard the dogs barking, I was detained, (released with out charge after nearly 24 hours) but man, that bar is really something definitely worth the $31.95 or whatever it was I paid for it something around there if I remember correctly. I remember that one federal agent telling his buddy "I would of hit the door twice and if it wouldn't budge I would of went through the window" oh, they also asked me me why my toilet was running... I said because I had to take a pee why else, got home the next day and everything was ripped apart literally, floor panels out of place, ceiling tiles taken down, everything in my cupboards thrown on the ground, couch cushions ripped open, dog prints all over the place but none the less that precious security bar really saved my ass for reasons in which I refuse to discuss on these forums." This review makes me more comfortable as I have been using this bar for some years and apart from pushing on the unlocked door with a friend inside I was not sure about a full on assault by a bogie man in the wee hours. The idea is they have to wake you up to get in - instead of one swift kick and they are standing in your bedroom with you asleep.
