Securing Vulnerable Timber Door Frames with the Kickstop 9606 Brown London Bar
External residential doors often present an attractive target for forced entry, not because the cylinder or deadlock fails, but because standard wooden door frames yield under heavy physical force. When an intruder attacks an inward opening timber entrance using a crowbar or heavy kick, the timber around the mortice keep or strike plate routinely splinters. Standard screws pull away easily from softwood jambs, allowing the door to swing open despite the locks remaining fully engaged. This vulnerability leaves homeowners and property managers with severe damage and compromised premises.
The Kickstop 9606 1980Mm Brown London Bar directly counters this attack method by distributing kinetic energy across the entire height of the doorway. Rather than allowing brute force to concentrate solely on the narrow pocket where your mortice strike plate sits, this substantial steel reinforcement bar anchors securely to the internal face of the frame. It grips the structure firmly, locking the jamb together and transforming a traditional timber doorway into a reinforced barrier that resists aggressive levering attempts.
Finished in a durable brown coating, this model blends naturally with stained hardwood doors, dark woodgrain finishes, and darker composite profiles. At Doorfit, we supply this robust security bar to ensure your residential or light commercial property enjoys dependable physical defence without needing a full structural door replacement.
Key Engineering Features and Real World Benefits
Every element of this reinforcing bar focuses on physical strength, straightforward installation, and long term peace of mind. Here is how the design safeguards your entryway.
Integral Mortice Strike Staple
The central feature of the London bar is its pre-formed steel staple. This specially shaped component sits over your existing mortice deadlock or latch strike plate. By enclosing the strike plate within solid steel, it stops jemmying tools from splitting the lock rebate away from the timber upright.
Full Height 1980mm Reinforcement
Spanning a generous 1980mm length, the bar covers almost the complete height of standard British residential doors. By anchoring from top to bottom, it spreads forced entry loads evenly along the structural stud wall instead of allowing localized timber fractures.
Hardwearing Brown Powder Coat
A neutral brown finish ensures the bar complements dark timber doors and varnished frames. The coating is resilient against knocks, scuffs, and cleaning routines, keeping your hallway looking smart while discreetly deterring opportunistic intruders.
Surface Mounted Convenience
Retrofitting security equipment can often be complicated, but this bar requires no routing into existing woodwork. It mounts cleanly against the flat internal surface of the frame, preserving your woodwork and avoiding time consuming structural carpentry.
Step by Step Installation and Fitment Process
Fitting the Kickstop 9606 1980Mm Brown London Bar is a straightforward DIY or trade project. Following these core stages guarantees maximum structural defence for your entryway.
Stage 1: Frame Inspection and Alignment
Inspect your timber frame to verify that the internal face is sound and clear of surface obstructions. Place the steel bar against the lock side of the jamb, confirming that the central staple slots cleanly over your existing mortice strike plate without fouling the door latch.
Stage 2: Pilot Hole Preparation
Hold the unit plumb using a spirit level and mark every pre-drilled fixing point on the wooden frame. Drill accurate pilot holes to the recommended diameter, ensuring the timber will not split when heavy gauge wood screws are driven home.
Stage 3: Secure Fixings Installation
Align the bar with your drilled pilot holes and drive the fixings securely through the bar and into the frame. Work from the central strike staple outwards toward the top and bottom tips, pulling the steel strip flat against the door frame.
Stage 4: Clearance and Latch Testing
Open and close your entrance door several times to ensure the bolt extends smoothly into the reinforced keep. Confirm that the door swings freely without catching against the staple edge, providing seamless security alongside effortless daily use.

Trade Tip for Maximum Security
For complete doorway reinforcement, consider pairing this London bar on your locking jamb with a Kickstop Birmingham bar on the hinge side. Reinforcing both sides prevents burglars from exploiting the frame opposite your deadlocks, establishing uniform strength right around the door opening.
