🚪 N235291 Industrial Hardware with Closed Holder Doors by National Review

Nothing to say about bent pieces of metal with holes. They work for what they are meant for. Security bars in my Fallout Shelter/SHTF. Nobody and nothing can get in there. Survival depends on proper planning. And water cannot live without water.

Simple, good price, gets the job done. I use it next to the garage door. Fun Fact: The 2X4 you use to get through the two brackets is called the Katybar, as in "Katy shut the door!" I believe it harks back to the King of Scotland. A device was sold under this name, a steel rod that ran at an angle of approximately 45° from a brass strip on the door to a brass plate on the floor.

These bad boys are a perfect match for me. I built a 20 foot wide mahogany double gate for the entrance to my backyard home and although I built it quite "thick", length, wind and reality really can't find "huge", the pipe studs meant that he was a little weak in the middle. I've really struggled to find good hardware rated for a pair of 500+ pound swing gates. To protect the center from wind etc I figured just a 2x4 crossbar on the inside would be the way to go. - I still don't need (or want)…
