Door bracing apparatus

A door bracing apparatus comprising:

• a crossbar;
• a striker means threadedly connected to said crossbar inwardly of a first end of said crossbar, said striker means extending outwardly generally transverse to said crossbar, said striker means for fitting against a surface of a frame of the door;
• and
• a stabilizer means threadedly connected to said crossbar inwardly of a second end of said crossbar, said stabilizer means extending outwardly generally transverse to said crossbar and in generally parallel relationship to said striker means, said stabilizer means for fitting against an opposite surface of the frame of the door, said crossbar being a rigid tubular member having a length greater than a width of the door.

An apparatus comprising:

• a door frame having an interior opening for receiving a door, said door frame having a locking hole side and a hinge side, said door frame having a first jamb extending along a surface of said locking hole side and a second jamb extending along a surface of said hinge side;
• a crossbar having a length greater than a width of said interior opening of said door frame;
• a striker member is connected to said crossbar inwardly of a first end of said crossbar and extending outwardly therefrom, said striker member being in surface-to-surface contact with said surface of said locking hole side, said striker member having an opening corresponding to a locking hole on said locking hole side;
• and
• a stabilizer member connected to said crossbar inwardly of a second end of said crossbar and extending outwardly therefrom, said stabilizer means being in surface-to-surface contact with the surface of said hinge side.
