Door security

[Jiroma]

Hi all, I saw a method of securing a door on a woodworking forum somewhere that had a lockable wheel that when turned drove a long rod/bolt into the floor and the header of the door frame at the same time. I've attached a sketch which hopefully will prompt someone to remember where I can find plans or even a drawing with a few details.

it may be easier to install one or two fire door locking systems , maybe one each side .
Something like this below , take the horizontal bar of and you will have something more discreet .

If you shop around you may find one cheaper
