Publication number: 20140265361Abstract: An apparatus for preventing unwanted opening of a locked enclosure. The enclosure includes a lock, a door and a door bolt. The door is openable when the door bolt is retracted from a structure surrounding the enclosure. The apparatus includes a frangible guard plate, and an arm coupled to the guard plate by a spring. The arm is maintained in a first position under a bias of the spring. When the guard plate is fractured, the arm is free to move from the first position into a second position. The arm is positioned to engage the door bolt in the second position, thereby preventing retraction of the door bolt.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: LOCKMASTERS SECURITY INSTITUTE, INC.Inventors: J.
