  • Patent number: 4548062
    Abstract: A device is disclosed which is mounted to a door over an independently mounted lock to prevent separation of the lock from the door. In one embodiment, the device comprises an interior plate having a recessed portion and flange portions, which is fastened to the interior of the door by bolts passing through the door with the recessed portion covering the lock. The plate holds the lock against the interior of the door and prevents its separation from the door when forces are applied to the lock from the exterior of the door via the lock cylinder or directly to the lock after the cylinder has been removed. In another embodiment, the device also comprises an exterior plate mounted to the exterior of the door covering the heads of the bolts used to mount the interior plate to the door.

  • Patent number: 4453389
    Abstract: Protective apparatus for a lock and a lock including such apparatus are disclosed. The protective apparatus comprises a plate-like element adapted to be added to a standard lock without requiring any mounting structure not already present in the lock. A spring causes the plate-like element to move or pivot when the connecting bar of the lock is removed to block the opening through which the lock connecting bar extends into the housing. Thereby, the plate prevents insertion of a tool such as a screwdriver into the lock. In some embodiments, the protective apparatus locks the bolt when the connecting bar is removed.
