  • Slidable door lock brace
    Patent number: 7021683
    Abstract: A standard door lock is connected through a bore in a door to a lock brace mechanism mounted on a fixed vertical plate on an inside surface of the door. A slide bar moves within a vertical slot in the fixed plate. Gearing within the brace mechanism turns a threaded rod at a 4:1 ratio to move a middle housing threaded to the rod in a downward direction to deploy a brace leg outwardly. By turning the brace mechanism in a reverse direction the brace leg is retracted to a position abutting the inside surface of the door.
