Whether you use the Security Bar for sliding-door or hinged-door applications, you can rest assured that the bar's design features are optimized to keep you and your family safe. For hinged doors, the bar features a pivoting ball joint that keeps it in full contact with the floor, providing a more stable and secure connection. Simply place the padded foot against your floor, and wedge the specially designed non-marring yoke beneath your door handle. The foot will give the bar a tight grip against your floor, and because both the foot and the yoke are padded, your floor and door handle will remain unmarred, even with everyday use. To secure a sliding door, simply turn the bar on its side, remove the yoke by pulling out the pin, and adjust the bar to the length of your door. Once properly adjusted, the bar will create a firm seating between the door and jamb, ensuring that no one can enter the door from the outside. The Dual Function Security Bar is designed to fit most sliding doors. Master Lock Durability

It does what is meant to do November 13, 2009
Santiago Criado
No complaints here, great product. From it's swivel base at the bottom, the strong frame and adjustable pin, to the plastic hook on top. Just adjust the bottom so that it sits about 12" from the door and give it a slight kick towards the door and you can feel a bit safer. Even works on my rug flooring!.

I purchased two of these security bars. My husband and I tried to open the doors with these in place and we couldn't open the doors. I feel very secure at home now if he has to leave. We thought about a security system but we didn't want to pay a monthly fee, so we purchased these. Very good investment. Amazon had the best prices for my security bars that I could find on the internet.
does the job, feel safer September 25, 2009

This item is very well-made and does the job. We bought this for my daughter's NYC apartment. She already has two locks, but the Super has one key, and who knows what else could happen, so we wanted her to be more secure. This item would prevent anyone from pushing in the door. My husband tried to open the door with this in place and he could not. It is very easy to adjust to fit, and that has to be done only the first time. After that, my daughter just easily puts it against the doorknob and it is all set. She has wood floors and the rubber grip holds very well against the wood. I liked that we could also use it as a horizontal security bar, since she has a narrow hallway (the width of the doorway) in the entry, she had the option to use it horizontally, but it works well as intended, against the doorknob, at a 45 degree angle. Easy to store when not in use (ie: when she is not there). I definitely recommend this product.
Great Door Security Bar September 25, 2009
C. Butch (OH)
We purchased this bar to use on a regular main door of our home. We tried it on sliding glass doors, but found it too bulky for using with ease. It really would need to be thinner to use easily. That said, for the regular door we are very pleased with it. Fortunately, it will be used on a tiled floor. I tried it on a carpeted floor and I wouldn't recommend it for that use. It didn't grip the floor as well as it should. The cost was reasonable and it helps give a person a little peace of mind. One thing to keep in mind. If you have an electric garage door opener and the power goes out, you won't be able to get into your house unless you have a door without the security bar. That happened to a friend. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because it wasn't made in the USA. I would have been willing to pay more if it had been. I'll be ordering another one for a gift.
Nice additional door security, could be sturdier September 19, 2009

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3SI4X1MEW4Z1Q The Master Lock Door Security Bar is a decent additional layer of security you can add to your door. We live in an apartment, so we cannot add real security features to the door (metal frame, superior deadbolts, that sort of thing), so we have to make do with this sort of thing for right now.
The security bar seems to more or less do its job, but it seems flimsy to me. I have tried putting constant pressure on the door with the bar in place, and it has held (we have a wooden floor, which I think helps), and I have tried having my wife setting it in place, and going outside and lightly kicking at it (with the door unlocked and unlatched), and it held. However, it still seems flimsy to me, and I am not sure if it will hold against a 200+lb man kicking with all of his weight and strength (which is why you can see additional layers of door security in the video).
When you extend the bar out to the height it needs to reach our door handle, and then add the extra length to put the bar the recommended distance away from the door according to the manual, the bar goes from feeling rather solid, to rather flimsy. There is basically one single push-pin in the grid which is keeping the bar from collapsing. I am not at all sure that push pin can hold up to a fully grown man kicking as hard as he can.
In the video, you can see me moving the bar around, and you can see and hear it wobbling and clinking around. I then put it up beneath the handle but I don't push it in yet to fully secure it, and it is still rather wobbly. Then I put my foot at the base of it and hold it solid, and the wobbly factor goes down, but doesn't disappear. When you have it forcefully wedged under the door handle, and braced on a solid wood floor, then most of the wobble disappears. But that single push pin still makes me nervous, as does the overall solidity of this product. The product is from Master Lock, which is a brand I trust, so I am willing to assume their engineers designed that push pin to stand up against man-sized force. But I would still have felt better of the product felt less wobbly at all times, and not just when it was fully wedged against the door as hard as you can push it.
It is better than nothing, but I guess that is why we have multiple layers of door security. You just can't be too careful these days.
