Methods and apparatuses provide for a security apparatus having a first anchor assembly with a first pin, wherein the first anchor assembly is to be mounted to a wall adjacent to a first side of a passageway closure such as a door or window. A second anchor assembly may include a second pin, wherein the second anchor assembly is to be mounted to the wall adjacent to a second side of the passageway closure. In addition, the security apparatus can include a longitudinal member having an open end and a closed end, wherein if the open end is coupled to the first pin and the closed end is coupled to the second pin, the apparatus inhibits opening of the passageway closure.
