Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for securing a door. The apparatuses include a door clamp having a stop, a base, a jamb bracket, and a fastener and are used to clamp a door to prevent opening of the door.
Claims9
A method of keeping a door closed, comprising:
- positioning a stop portion of a door clamp horizontally, the door clamp having a base, the base is attached to a fastener bracket at one end of the base, and the base is attached to or formed with the stop portion at another end of the base;
- sliding the stop portion of the door clamp under the closed door and past an outer side of the closed door;
- rotating the door clamp such that the stop portion is vertical such that the stop portion is positioned to abut the outer side of the door;
- moving the door clamp toward a door frame such that the base is positioned at least partially under the door and the fastener bracket is positioned on an inner side of the door such that the fastener bracket is positioned to abut the inner side of the door;
- providing a pin extending through the door clamp via an orifice in the door clamp;
- and
- placing the pin extending through the door clamp into a fastener orifice, where the fastener orifice is in a floor adjacent the door, thereby maintaining the door closed by a limitation of movement of the pin in the fastener orifice.

- providing a pin extending through the door clamp via an orifice in the door clamp;
- and
- moving the door clamp until the pin extending through the door clamp is inserted into a fastener orifice in a floor adjacent the door and adjacent the door clamp, such that the fastener bracket is positioned to abut the inner side of the door, thereby maintaining the door closed by a limitation of movement of the pin in the fastener orifice in the floor.
