ABSTRACT:
The improved burglar-resistant door assembly of the invention comprises a door frame, a door hingedly connected to one side of said frame, door latch means connected to the inside surface of said door, a peephole device extending through said door and a protective cover device releasably disposed over the peephole device and/or latch means to prevent tampering therewith. The cover device may comprise a suction cup or pivotally mounted cover plate over the peephole or a screw cover on a threaded track around the peephole, or latch means, or an elastic cover stretched over and gripping the latch means. The latch means may be, for example, a door knob, dead bolt knob or the like. In one embodiment of the cover device, a spaced pair of parallel tracks are mounted on said door inner surface on opposite sides of said latch means and run from about the edge of the door containing the latch means to a location past the latch means and towards the opposite hinge-bearing edge of said door. A cover is slidably mounted on the tracks over the latch means and comprises a closed face, one closed end and an open opposite end, the latter facing toward and preferably at about said latch-bearing door edge. Preferably, a stop hood is secured to that end of the tracks which is adjacent the latch-bearing door edge, and overlies the open cover end to prevent tampering therewith.
