Abstract: Apparatus for securing a strike plate (40) having a deflected tang portion (46) extending outwardly from the plane of the body portion (41) of the plate (40) to a door jamb (30) including a generally L-shaped connector member (11) having a pair of generally perpendicularly extending legs, a first of said legs (12) being arranged to engage the tang (46) on the strike plate (40) when positioned parallel to the plane of the body (41) of the strike plate, a portion (15) of the second leg (14) being deflected to extend away from the plane of the body of the strike plate to position the second leg (14) in a plane spaced from the plane of the first leg (12). A rod (16) is secured to the outer extremity of the first leg (12) by a hinge pin (18) such that the rod and the second leg on the connector member lie in a common plane. Anchor nuts (20) on rod (16 ) and on the second leg (14) are provided for attachment of the connector to a door jamb.
