A door latch locking guard 30 is provided for maintaining a door in a locked position. A door latch 10 has an existing stationary latch arm 12 and the door jam has an existing swinging arm 14 for engaging the latch arm 12 to lock the door. The present invention provides a protective locking guard 30 having a notch 38 formed therein for placing over the stationary latch arm 12, and the protective locking guard 30 also has a plate 32 for moving the existing swinging arm 14 over the plate 32. A locking clasp 40 is provided for inserting through an opening 36 in plate 32 in order to prevent the door latch 12 from being opened from the opposite side of the door.

A gear lock system, including: a movable actuator; a gear rack connected to the actuator, wherein movement of the actuator causes the gear rack to move; a hook in meshed contact with the gear rack; and a clip dimensioned to wrap around the hook and the gear rack, wherein the gear rack and hook are flat, wherein force on the hook from opening a cabinet door is not transmitted to the gear rack or to the actuator.

A swing bar door guard includes a door latch having a latch base configured to be connected to a doorjamb, a latch bar configured to be connected to the latch base, and first and second bumpers configured to extend through openings in the latch bar. The first and second bumpers each include a jamb bumper portion for contacting the door jamb when in a blocking position and a door bumper portion for contacting the door in the blocking position.

A hold open rod includes an inner member, an outer member configured to have the inner member slide in and out of the outer member, and a locking mechanism configured to selectively lock the inner member and the outer member with respect to each other. The locking mechanism includes a locking plug configured to move axially along an axis of the inner member and the outer member to a locking position and an unlocking position, a locking dog configured to move radially between a locking position and an unlocking position as a result of a camming action with the locking plug as the locking plug moves axially, and a lock transfer bar operatively connected to the locking plug and configured to move the locking plug to the locking position and the unlocking position when the lock transfer bar is moved.

A security latch for a swing bar door guard having a break away rotatable cross-member to further secure the swing bar so as to permit a minimal gap between the door and doorway when the door is opened while the cross-member extends through the swing bar retaining arm passage and is rotated lengthwise across the span to secure the swing bar. The minimal gap inhibits the introduction of a tool into the span along the midsection of the swing bar that could be used to pry the swing bar members apart to release the knob of a swing bar retaining arm.

An assembly according to some embodiments of the disclosure includes an enclosure having a housing and door hingedly attached to the housing and a door stop mechanism which holds the door in an open position. The mechanism includes a link member pivotally connected to the door and to the housing. The link member has an elongated slot which extends along a portion of the link member. The slot has a linear portion and an enlarged opening at an end thereof which is offset from the linear portion. When the door is opened, a fastener, which is either mounted to the housing or to the door, slides along the slot until the fastener is positioned in the enlarged opening to hold the door open.

A door stop rod assembly includes a base having a room defined therein. A neck and a yoke are respectively connected to two opposite ends of the base. The collapsible part is connected to the neck. The yoke includes a notch against which the door knob contacts. A warning device is located in the room of the base and includes a circuit, a power supply, a buzzer, a vibration detector, a static electricity sensor and a switch. When the vibration detector detects vibration from the door knob due to exterior touch of the door knob, the circuit activates the buzzer to warn the persons inside the house.

A swing bar security lock includes an elongated, generally U-shaped main body having a first arm, a second arm and a curved middle section. The main body is constructed from a single piece of metal, and includes a dimension for receiving a swing bar guard that is in the locked position. A connector such as a locking pin is removably positioned within apertures that are disposed along the bottom portions of the first and second arms.

A door gap lock includes a door leaf part that is configured to be arranged on a door leaf and that has an axially slidably mounted locking bolt, and includes a frame part that is configured to be arranged on a door frame and has a rotatably mounted pivot lever, where the locking bolt can be slid into a guide on the pivot lever and, during a relative movement between the door leaf part and the frame part, the locking bolt is guided in a form-fitting manner in the guide so as to be slidable therein over a defined distance, and where the guide when arranged in the pivot lever has a predetermined breaking point at which the locking bolt breaks through the guide when a defined force is applied to the locking bolt.

Security doorstop assemblies configured for securing a door closed or partially closed. The doorstop assemblies include a detent (e.g., arm) assembly attachable to a wall proximate a header of a doorframe associated with the door. The detent assembly includes means for allowing movement of the detent assembly between an inactive position, in which the detent assembly is proximate the wall and out of the contact with the door, and an active position, in which the detent assembly is remote from the wall and oriented to arrest the movement of the door as it is being swung open. Methods for securing a door using the doorstop assemblies are also disclosed.
