I was going to suggest puting a big, solid wardrobe in front of the door and use it to store things like bricks and sandbags... but to be honest, I prefer the idea of poisoned caltrops myself.
Go to B&Q and get a big fat bolt- no one should ever go through that. And if any landlord complains tell them to go stick it! *hugs* Learn from the experience of an old college friend of mine your house insurance wont be valid if that can happen. *double hugs*
Well, it's a fire escape, yes? so fit a FUCK OFF HUGE fire alarm on a Break-switch to it, so it goes off when opened. Not as satisfying as a poisoned wardrobe or tizwaz's but it'll stop you being murdered while asleep in your bed *
I can supply a lovely range of locking products of various types at trade price once I'm back from holiday (off from Sunday till Monday)
Only thing to check comes down to whether it really is a "Fire escape" or not. If it's marked as such, it shouldn't pass into your living areas at all and shouldn't have any form of key locking device to secure it. If it's not, then get a doorwedge for now, and complain bitterly to your landlord about said incident, and if needed I can dig up the appropriate regs re: home insurance, security, housing etc.
