Here's an easy one I taught my sister after people started shooting one night in front of her apartment. She hadn't realized, before she moved there, that she was going to be right on the edge of Hooker and Crack territory.

We grabbed two metal hooks for hanging flower pots, just like you can get in the gardening section at Wal-mart for $1.97 each. We found where the studs were on either side of the door, and mounted the hooks to the studs. Then we took a peice of steel rebar that we 'appropriated' from a nearby construction site and slide it through the 'artistic curls' on the main body of the hooks.

You end up with a pretty effective cross-bar for the door.
