Two crossbars, too, had been set across the door, in their brackets, one about the height of a man's chest, the other about the height of his thighs. - (Magicians of Gor, Chapter 28, Sentence #130)

The metal bolt of a crossbow, fired at close range, some inches from the other side of the door, that light a door, a sort not uncommon in the poorly built insulae of the Metellan district, could splinter through and bury itself in the opposite wall. I heard the handle of the door, a lever handle, fixed crosswise in the door, move. It moved only a little, of course, as the bolt was thrown, the lock peg in place. Two crossbars, too, had been set across the door, in their brackets, one about the height of a man's chest, the other about the height of his thighs. The door was thus both locked and barred. It would have to be burst in, breaking loose the brackets from the wall on my side. Normally this sort of thing is done with two or three men, one or two trying to burst in the door, in one attack upon it, and the other following, immediately, armed, to strike. - (Magicians of Gor)
