The lock adapter is formed of a bracket having a first end and a second end, and preferably has a generally S-shaped configuration. The first end of the bracket has a first mounting face against which the lock is to be secured. The second end of the bracket is provided with a second mounting face against which the prosthetic limb is to be secured. The bracket being is formed so that the first and second mounting faces are spaced apart from one another, and may optionally be angled relative to one another.
