I went to lowes, bought 2 metal braces for either side of the door. placed a piece of wood, 2 by 4 across the door and wah la....

The wood slips into the braces that we mounted, used 4 inch screws into the studs on the walls on either side of the doors. I saw how to do this on youtube. Lots of ideas. All you need is a drill and screwdriver.

I feel safer. I am alone a lot up here so anything we can do makes me feel a little better. Looks funny from the inside though...

Possible overkill, but makes me feel good, check it out.
