How can I solder steel bars?
I did one of the dumbest things anyone could do; locked myself out. I was working at my storage building painting, and I didn't realize I didn't have my keys with me before I stepped outside and closed the door. Luckily, I had a window open. The only problem was there are bars on the window. There were 2 vertical and 1 horizontal. Having no other way to get back in, I cut the bars out and climbed through the window. I don't have any portable means of welding, so how could I reattach the bars? It is relatively thin steel T brackets basically. Can I use a soldering gun or propane torch with solder to 'weld' it back together. How about jb weld? I am not worried about the structural integrity-security of it, I just need to make it nearly look like it never happened.

you can probably get a silver solder "kit" at a big hardware store or tool store that contains some solder and the right flux. Use a propane torch and follow the directions on the package.

No. I don't think you can solder steel. i have only done it to copper. See if you can rent a hobby welder.
