I highly recommend the nightlock door barricade as an effective and inexpensive security upgrade.
Nightlock door barricade reviews.
Also have the nightlock for inward swing doors and highly recommend it as well.
A solid core wood door is going to be tough.
The sliding plate that goes against the door is a little odd shaped but it does the job.
Installation and use are excellent.
Here is what i noted.
It is low enough that i don t even notice it going in a and out of the door.
Can t beat this product for protection of outswing doors.
Installation was a breeze and the base is fairly unobtrusive.
But with the nightlock barricade at the floor level it is out of reach.

Additionally our door security plates have been used in universities churches retail businesses offices and inside government headquarters.
We are more than happy to answer your questions.
A hollow core metal door can be folded open in a few seconds and even kickdowns like you show are broken off.
It can withstand 1100 lbs of force.
A pivoting barricade lock is probably possible but will that pivot point withstand shear and blows.
High quality materials and super quick and easy install.
A most excellent security upgrade for the 40 price.

On a conventional entry door an intruder can break a door window reach in and gain access to the door knob lever to open the door.
The similar ongard door barricade is significantly better but is 100 and is hard to find.
The barricade is in itself pretty robust but as another reviewer noted the installation hardware is lacking and suggested alternate installation instructions methods that significantly increase its strength and very possibly its survivability during an attack.
Keep in mind the door itself plays a key role in how strong a barricade lock performs.
