I've got an up and over door with the lock in the central handle and want to
improve the security.

Due to the gap between the metal edge and the side wood work it is not really
possible to fit any extra bolts at the bottom. I was thinking of some kind
of locking bar/post type arrangement in front of the door but have only seen
one in B&Q and it seemed a bit expensive.

Does anyone know, please, when I might find a suitable product or can off any
advice ?

Thanks

Apart from adding the post you suggest:-

1. You could add extra spring type bolts into the side or top of the
frame, working off the existing handle/lock. Someone posted a source
for such door parts today in response to another enquiry in the ng.

2. You could fit an hasp and padlock at the bottom of the door to the
outside. Fit the hook part to the concrete and bolt the hinged part at
the bottom of the door.
