What are those locks called where a person puts a 2x4 on between two metal holders?

[ScottyB]

I need to know the name of the lock itself, the board and the metal things. Thanks.

A vice? Clamp?

I think I know what you're talking about, but I've not seen it with wood, but with a steel rod. One end goes to the door, the other to a flush to the floor mounted duhickey.

I though you were talking about a saw horse.

But do you mean an angle clamp?


Damn, this is getting worst then the YALT, where L=Lyrics.

he is talking about on doors, like the ones where you see people run into a room, and trow a 2x4 into two metal L shaped devices, whcih when added to teh door form a U. thus, when the person tries to open the door the 2x4 and metal holders prevents them.

think LOTR ROTK when they were protecting the gates, and had the 2x4's nailed up
