I’ve been working on making some physical security upgrades around my house. I bought two sets of metal brackets at a local hardware store to make a DIY door barricade. I’ll put some coat pegs on it so when not in use, it will slide into the second set of brackets and serve as an entryway coat rack.

I’ll add putting it in place as part of my evening routine after I set the alarm to ‘stay’ mode.

Did something similar at the farm but went a little heavier gauge than I had originally planned on the metal so I could safely leave the top “open” and taller just to ensure quick egress for the fam in an emergency. It’s just the former volunteer firefighter coming out in me. 1/2” x 5” lag bolts into the framing on a 2x6 exterior wall.
