ABSTRACT:
A retainer for securing and retaining a pre-hung door unit in a closed position relative to a door jamb assembly. The retainer includes a shaped cylindrical plug configured to fit closely in the edge bore of the door. A configured end of the plug accommodates both circular and rectangular bores that are normally provided in the strike side of the door jamb. The plug is inserted into the edge bore of the door and the door is closed relative to the door jamb assembly. The plug is then moved in the edge bore so that the configured end engages the bore in the strike side to thus secure the door in the closed position. Slots provided in the configured end of the plug are arranged to receive a retention tab to secure the plug in position. The retainer is particularly suited for door jamb assemblies that have a blind bore in the strike side.
