A Deterrent You Cannot Pick Open—“The Door Club”
Back in the nineties, “The Club” was all the rage for car theft deterrents. Not too far after that, the company decided to make an anti-theft device for the house. Their entry was “The Door Club” and to its advantage, it has no lock that could eventually be picked open with lock picks. The claim by the makers of “The Door Club” was that deadbolts and conventional locks were useless under a brute force attack on the door. Which in some cases is very true. And people, who just try to kick in the door, obviously cannot pick a lock. So to stop those who and cannot pick a lock, there is “The Door Club”.
“The Door Club” had some setup work to be done before it could be used. It was required to have a floor plate installed into the floor. It was not just quickly drilled in, but properly drilled deep in the concrete and anchored in. With the floor plate in place, one would simply slide the resistance bar into the holes in the floor plate. Advertisements claimed that the resistance produced by the bar could withstand over two tons of force. The set of course included a metal kick plate to install onto your door to help prevent any damage to it from using “The Door Club”. It also came with a handy rack to that installed on the door to hold the resistance bar while it was not being used.
