ABSTRACT:
A portable door securing device or lock particularly adapted for use by travelers so that such persons can secure a door, such as in a motel, hotel, or the like, in a closed condition. The device is also useful in homes, apartments, or the like, where it is desired to utilize a door lock in addition to or in lieu of the normally provided key operated lock. The device includes a rigid rectangular block having an adjustably mounted latch bolt with a lateral extension on one end thereof for engagement in the usual keeper or latch plate on the door frame with the latch bolt extending between the edge of the door and the door frame. The bolt is adjustably secured to the block which bridges the juncture between the edge of the door and the door frame for retaining the door in closed position. The block is provided with an adjustable abutment to facilitate its use with doors and door frames having various contours, offsets, set backs, and the like, and in certain embodiments, the structure of the block enables the latch bolt to be rapidly removed in the event of an emergency.
