Barrow extended their unbeaten home record in Sky Bet League Two to six games following a goalless draw with Salford.
The Cumbrians went closest to breaking the deadlock after only 11 minutes when Dom Telford, who scored his first goal for the club in midweek at Forest Green, struck a post.
Alex Cairns gratefully snatched the rebound and then came to the rescue in the second half preventing an Elliot Watt back pass going into his own net.
That led to a home free-kick on the edge of the six-yard box but Telford, Niall Canavan and Kian Spence all had efforts blocked.
Striker Matt Smith, the Football League's top scorer, had little opportunity to add to his 12-goal total.
And Salford's best opportunity fell to Matty Lund 10 minutes from time but the substitute blazed wide from Declan John's excellent cross.
Barrow's latest point came from a fifth unbeaten league game, though further progress up the table has been halted by four draws in that sequence.
