Abstract: A cable lock, for use with a package and a fixed object, includes cables, a padlock, and a cable tightener. The cables together extend in a loop about the package. The padlock secures the cables to each other in a locked configuration. The cable tightener securely engages and permits longitudinal movement of a cable relative thereto, but only in a tightening direction unless a release is selectively actuated. The cable tightener is securely affixed to the fixed object. In the locked configuration, the cable loop is tightened about the package towards a secured configuration. Then, the cable loop engages and secures the package against the fixed object, such that the package prevents access to the release. Selective unlocking of the padlock permits removal of the package from the cable loop and ready access to the release.

Abstract: A sliding latch replaces a prior art door strike plate. The sliding latch has two components, a strike plate and a sliding latch cover reciprocal within the strike plate. A handle protrudes from the sliding latch cover sufficiently to extend beyond a closed door and door frame, to permit the handle to be manually grasped and lifted in a crisis. When the sliding latch cover is thus elevated, it no longer blocks the door bolt, allowing the bolt to extend farther and engage with the strike plate and extend into the door jamb, locking the door. One of the strike plate mounting screw holes is preferably drawn slightly out of the primary plane of the strike plate toward the jamb, and a pair of elevated distally located edges run longitudinally along the strike plate. The drawn screw hole and raised edges guide and limit motion of the sliding latch cover.
