A door locking apparatus for use on a door and an associated door jamb is provided. The door locking apparatus includes a custom striker plate and a U-shaped element or U-Bar. The U-shaped element has two arm portions and the custom striker plate has two arm receiving apertures for receiving the arm portions of the U-shaped element. The U-shaped element partially encircles the shank of a door knob assembly and the two arm portions fit into the two arm receiving apertures to lock the door. A device for keeping the U-shaped element in a locked position is built into the U-shaped element. A preferred embodiment utilizes a notch on the U-shaped element to keep the device in a locked position.
