Always use the biggest screws or lag bolt possible. A good pry bar or Halligan Tool can pull out 2" deck screws like they are nothing.

The problem is you didn;t put any power behind pulling on the door like someone would if they were trying ot break in. The brace would only be as strong as the screws holding it on teh door or wall, which would easily be broken off if someone actually pulled as hard as tehy could to get in.

Door jams work great, but the weak part is still going to be the door itself. It's hollow core, so a simple kick and there would be a decent sized hole to stick an arm through and pull the 2x4 out of the way. It's like with all modern stick house construction. If you want to break into a house or another room in the same house, the walls are the weak point you want to penetrate, not the door since the door is more likely to be reinforced or alarmed.

What's the minimum space needed for each side because I have a house that is 1 5/8" on one side and 11/4" on the other thank you for your video.

That's pathetic, those screws on a hollow door means the failure point will be the screws just flying out. Get a solid wood or steel door.

Screws into the door look awful weak. Perhaps a carriage bolt through the door? Needing exterior garage door outswing security options.

Great product, and well fitting for the channel! Is there any type of defencethat can be used to protect your windows? I love the idea of a covert 'urban fortress'. By the way, have you ever had to use any of your emergency water storage?

Yeah not bad for urban environments! I know they make security screens for windows but personally havent looked into them too much... yeah that would definitely be an interesting topic to explore further.

On an outward swinging door what's to stop an intruder from just pulling the 2x4 out of the bracket?

Brackets are attached to the inside of the door for outward swinging in doors. How would your intruder remove the 2x4 if he was not already inside the room?

You need to have a solid as fuck door and use like 3 inch screws put two brackets at the bottom of the door and two at the top with your 4x2 going across both them and a good lock in the middle I also swapped all the hinge screws out for longer ones as well
