security bar
Window intrusion deterrent
A security bar is a metal rod or barrier installed on windows, doors, or storefronts to prevent unauthorized entry.
Buildings in high-crime areas often have security bars on ground-floor windows.
The term also refers to a portable metal bar that braces against a door from inside to reinforce it against forced entry: She wedged the security bar under the doorknob before going to sleep.
