ABSTRACT:

The adjustment member in abutting against the door serves to vary the angle of the legs relative to the door to wedgingly engage the cross bar in its locked position to prevent one exterior of the room using a key to unlock the lock. The second end portion may be directly abuttable against one of the lock housing and the door, or if necessary a spacer plate may be used to have extend between the security member and the door interior. The spacer plate has notches for the adjustment member and the lock handle to extend through.
