Door security apparatus

A method of using a door security apparatus that is adapted to assist in retaining a pair of adjacent opposing doors having edges in a closed state, thereby to help protect against unauthorized opening of the doors by placing the doors into an open state, wherein the doors are hinged each on opposing door sides, with the door sides approximately perpendicular to the door edges, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a door security apparatus that includes a channeled extension beam having a longitudinal axis, said beam is adapted to fit over and removably engage the pair of adjacent door edges that are in the closed state and a means for manually selectively rotatably clamping or unclamping said beam to at least one door edge, wherein the doors have increased protection against unauthorized opening, thus placing the doors into a more secured closed state, said means only manually selectively clamping or unclamping said beam from the door edge by applying a manual external force in conjunction with a manual forward or a manual reverse rotation respectively;
• (b) placing said beam to engage the door edges to substantially secure the pair of adjacent door edges in the closed state;
• (c) positioning said beam by moving said beam substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis such that said means for manually selectively rotatably clamping said beam to the door edge is positioned adjacent to at least one door edge and a portion of said beam is engaged to the adjacent opposing door edge;
• (d) rotating said means for manually selectively rotatably clamping or unclamping said beam to the door edge in forward manual rotation and applying a lower manual external force in conjunction with the forward manual rotation to manually selectively rotatably clamp said beam to the door edge, wherein the adjacent opposing doors are further substantially secured in the closed state to help protect against unauthorized opening of the doors by placing the doors into the open state;
• and
• (e) rotating said means for manually selectively rotatably clamping or unclamping said beam to the door edge in reverse manual rotation and applying a higher manual external force to said means in conjunction with the reverse manual rotation to release the door edge clamp of said beam to remove said door security apparatus from the doors, wherein the doors can be manually placed into the open state.

A method of using a door security apparatus that is adapted to assist in retaining a door in a closed state, thereby to help protect against unauthorized opening of the door by placing the door into an open state, wherein the door is hinged to a door frame on one side approximately perpendicular to a door edge, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a door security apparatus that includes a channeled extension beam having a longitudinal axis, a portion of said beam is adapted to fit over and removably engage the door edge, and a remainder of said beam is adjacent to the frame, wherein the door is in the closed state and a means for manually selectively rotatably clamping or unclamping said beam to the door edge, wherein the door has increased protection against unauthorized opening, thus placing the door into a more secured closed state, said means only manually selectively clamping or unclamping said beam from the door edge by applying a manual external force in conjunction with a manual forward or a manual reverse rotation respectively;
• (b) placing said beam portion to engage the door edge and said beam remainder to be adjacent to the frame to substantially secure the door in the closed state;
• (c) positioning said beam by moving said beam substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis such that said means for manually selectively rotatably clamping said beam to the door edge is positioned adjacent to the door edge and said remainder of said beam is adjacent to the frame;
• (d) rotating said means for manually selectively rotatably clamping or unclamping said beam to the door edge in manual forward rotation and applying a lower manual external force in conjunction with the forward manual rotation to manually selectively rotatably clamp said beam to the door edge, wherein the door is further substantially secured in the closed state to help protect against unauthorized opening of the door by placing the door into the open state and;
• (e) rotating said means for manually selectively rotatably clamping or unclamping said beam to the door edge in reverse manual rotation and applying a higher manual external force to said means in conjunction with the reverse manual rotation to release the door edge clamp of said beam to remove said door security apparatus from the door, wherein the door can be manually placed into the open state.
