  • Publication number: 20080042451
    Abstract: The deadbolt handle locking device is releasable strap secured to a deadbolt lock handle of a door and to the shaft of a doorknob, selectively preventing rotation of the deadbolt lock handle. The securement device includes a base strap having a central portion and opposed proximal and distal ends. The proximal end of the base strap forms a loop having an adjustable circumference for adjustable and releasable tightening about the deadbolt lock handle. The central portion of the base strap is wound about the shaft of the doorknob, and a distal region of the central portion is releasably secured to a proximal region of the central portion, thus preventing rotation of the deadbolt lock handle and preventing unauthorized opening of the door. The distal region of the central portion may be secured to the proximal region by a hook-and-loop type fastener, for example.

  • Patent number: 5421074
    Abstract: A conversion kit allows a user to convert a deadbolt lock mechanism into a pick proof deadbolt lock mechanism by providing all the necessary parts allowing a user to easily and effectively prevent the turnpiece latch of the deadbolt lock mechanism from rotating. Once installed, a locking shaft pin of the kit can be placed into a first orifice drilled through the turnpiece latch and a second orifice, coaxially aligned with the first orifice, drilled through the backplate to immobilize the turnpiece latch in its locked position. It would also allow a deadbolt manufacturer to use the same, in which case collars could be an O-ring style.

  • Patent number: 5327632
    Abstract: A conversion kit allows a user to convert a conventional deadbolt lock mechanism into a pick proof deadbolt lock mechanism by providing all the necessary parts allowing a user to easily and effectively prevent the turnpiece latch of the deadbolt lock mechanism from rotating. Once installed, a locking shaft pin of the kit can be placed into a first orifice drilled through the turnpiece latch and a second orifice, coaxially aligned with the first orifice, drilled through the backplate to immobilize the turnpiece latch in its locked position. It would also allow a deadbolt manufacturer to use the same, in which case the collars could be a rivet style.
