ABSTRACT:
A security device for cargo doors and similar articles which utilizes a conventional padlock to secure the horizontally extending handle present on many conventional double cargo doors of cargo carrying vehicles. The security device includes a stationary base member which is mounted on the cargo door by carriage bolts or other conventional fasteners and a rotatable blocking member which is rotatably mounted on the cargo door above the stationary base member. The rotatable blocking member can be rotated in a plane parallel to the cargo door upwardly in relation to the stationary base member to allow the horizontally extending handle to be placed adjacent the stationary base member. Once the horizontally extending handle is placed in this position, the rotatable blocking member is rotated to a position adjacent the stationary base member and a conventional padlock is used to lock rotatable blocking member and stationary base member together thereby securing the horizontally extending handle between the cargo door and the security device. Thus, further movement of the horizontally extending handle is precluded until the padlock is removed and the rotatable blocking member pivoted to a position away from the stationary base member.
