Home security protection kit

A home security protection kit comprising:

• a container for housing components of the kit, the components of the kit housed in said container including two door braces extending along a longitudinal axis of said container for each securing one of a hinged door and a sliding door, four window clamps for securing sliding metal frame windows, four window pins for preventing relative movement of an upper portion and a lower portion of a wood sash window, a door clamp for securing a sliding door, and four anti-liftout plates for preventing lifting of a sliding door out of a slide track, and each door brace including
• a single inner tube having two ends, said inner tube having a predetermined outer diameter,
• a single outer tube having two ends, said outer tube having a predetermined inner diameter greater than said outer diameter of said inner tube, said inner tube being slidably mounted in said outer tube and forming a gap between said inner tube and said outer tube,
• a connector cuff located at one end of said outer tube and having an inner diameter substantially equal to said outer diameter of said inner tube and less than said inner diameter of said outer tube for filling the gap between said inner tube and said outer tube so as to provide smooth sliding of said inner tube within said outer tube without wobble,
• a yoke removably mounted on one end of said inner tube for engagement with a handle of a swinging door, said yoke including a recess for receiving said one end of said inner tube in a fixed position,
• a foot removably mounted on the other end of said outer tube for engagement with the floor spaced from a swinging door, said foot including a recess for receiving said other end of said outer tube in a fixed position,
• a plurality of holes defined by said outer tube at predetermined distances along said outer tube for locking of said outer tube with respect to said inner tube to produce an overall length of said inner tube and said outer tube suitable for securing a swinging door when the yoke is on the inner tube and the foot is on the outer tube and for securing a sliding door of an approximately five to six foot wide door structure when the yoke is removed from the inner tube and the foot is removed from the outer tube,
• locking means located within the other end of said inner tube for locking said inner tube relative to said outer tube at a predetermined length for securing a swinging door and at a predetermined length for securing a sliding door of an approximately five to six foot wide door structure, said locking means including a pin projecting through a hole of said inner tube and through one of said plurality of holes of said outer tube to lock said inner tube relative to said outer tube,
• a first group of said plurality of holes being positioned on said outer tube to lock said inner tube relative to said outer tube by said locking means for securing a hinged door by engagement of said yoke with a handle of the hinged door and engagement of said foot with the floor spaced from the hinged door, and
• a remainder of said plurality of holes and some of said first group of holes being positioned on said outer tube to lock said inner tube relative to said outer tube by said locking means for preventing sliding of a sliding door of an approximately five to six foot wide door structure after removal of said yoke and said foot and placing of said inner tube and said outer tube nesting on a slide track of a sliding door of an approximately five to six foot wide door structure for engagement of said other end of said outer tube and said one end of said inner tube between a wall and the sliding door.

A door brace for securing a swingable door or preventing sliding of a sliding door, said door brace comprising:

• a single inner tube having two ends, said inner tube having a predetermined outer diameter,
• a single outer tube having two ends, said outer tube having a predetermined inner diameter greater than said outer diameter of said inner tube, said inner tube being slidably mounted in said outer tube and forming a gap between said inner tube and said outer tube,
• a connector cuff located at one end of said outer tube and having an inner diameter substantially equal to said outer diameter of said inner tube and less than said inner diameter of said outer tube for filling the gap between said inner tube and said outer tube so as to provide smooth sliding of said inner tube within said outer tube without wobble,
• a yoke removably mounted on one end of said inner tube for engagement with a handle of a swinging door, said yoke including a recess for receiving said one end of said inner tube in a fixed position,
• a foot removably mounted on the other end of said outer tube for engagement with the floor spaced from a swinging door, said foot including a recess for receiving said other end of said outer tube in a fixed position,
• a plurality of holes defined by said outer tube at predetermined distances along said outer tube for locking of said outer tube with respect to said inner tube to produce an overall length of said inner tube and said outer tube suitable for securing a swinging door when the yoke is on the inner tube and the foot is on the outer tube and for securing a sliding door of an approximately five to six foot wide door structure when the yoke is removed from the inner tube and the foot is removed from the outer tube,
• locking means located within the other end of said inner tube for locking said inner tube relative to said outer tube at a predetermined length for securing a swinging door and at a predetermined length for securing a sliding door of an approximately five to six foot wide door structure, said locking means including a pin projecting through a hole of said inner tube and through one of said plurality of holes of said outer tube to lock said inner tube relative to said outer tube,
• a first group of said plurality of holes being positioned on said outer tube to lock said inner tube relative to said outer tube by said locking means for securing a hinged door by engagement of said yoke with a handle of the hinged door and engagement of said foot with the floor spaced from the hinged door, and
• a remainder of said plurality of holes and some of said first group of holes being positioned on said outer tube to lock said inner tube relative to said outer tube by said locking means for preventing sliding of a sliding door of an approximately five to six foot wide door structure after removal of said yoke and said foot and placing of said inner tube and said outer tube nesting on a slide track of a sliding door of an approximately five to six foot wide door structure for engagement of said other end of said outer tube and said one end of said inner tube between a wall and the sliding door.
