General Information
Type(s)	Obstruction
Effects	Blocking passageways
Background Information
Added in	Version 1.3.2, Version 1.8

The Iron Bars can be found in the Spider Cellar, the Spider Cellar Drain and on the Basement side of the Secret Area Tunnel (exclusive to Extreme mode), rendering it unusable. They were added to Granny in Version 1.3.2, and then later in Version 1.8.

Appearance

The Iron Bars consist of 5 long vertical bars, held together by 2 shorter horizontal bars, which are connected to walls. They are black, made out of chipping metal, with scratches on them.

Secret Area Tunnel

Iron Bars blocking the Secret Area Tunnel are exclusive to Extreme Mode. They were added to the game in Version 1.3.2 in hopes of making Extreme Mode harder.

Dropping items through the bars

Some items can go through the openings in bars, some will simply phase through them, and some won't go through easily. Prior to Version 1.7.9.3 only certain small items could be thrown through the openings in bars, but now almost all items can go through.

The following items can be thrown through the bars very easily:

• Battery
• Birdseed
• Blue Vase
• Book
• Car Key
• Car Battery
• Cutting Pliers
• Gasoline Can
• Grey Vase
• Master Key
• Meat
• Melon (will likely roll away, so not recommended, unless you won't need it immediately after)
• Note
• Orange Cogwheel
• Padlock Code
• Padlock Key
• Pepper Spray (same as Melon)
• Playhouse Key
• Red Cogwheel
• Remote Control
• Spark Plug (same as Melon and Pepper Spray)
• Special Key
• Trigger
• Weapon Key
• Wheel Crank
• Wrench

The following items can be thrown through, but with minor difficulty (You may have to go to a certain spot in front of the bars to get it through, or try throwing it again):

• Barrel
• Buttstock
• Crossbow
• Hammer
• Safe Key
• Screwdriver (will likely roll away so not recommended unless you won't need it immediately again)

The following items are difficult to get through the bars, but still possible:

• Chain Cutter
• Engine Part
• Rusty Padlock Key
• Shotgun
• Spider Key
• Wooden Stick

The following items are extremely difficult, impossible, or hazardous to attempt throwing through the bars:

• Freeze Trap
• Plank
• Winch Handle

Spider Cellar

There are also some Iron Bars in the Spider Cellar which have been added in Version 1.8 that appear in every difficulty. They block the Cupboard #3 and #4 rooms.

Unlike the Iron Bars blocking the Secret Area Tunnel, these Iron Bars can be lifted by using the Wheel Crank.

Trivia

• Prior to Version 1.3.2, there are no Iron Bars blocking the way on Extreme Mode.
• The Iron Bars and the Fall Damage are the only hazards in the game that doesn't alert Granny but it will obstruct the Player's way.
• The Iron Bars used to be grey, instead of black this current version.
