Here is provided a device for securing a standard deadbolt lock in a locked orientation so that the deadbolt lock cannot be unlocked by an intruder. The device disclosed includes an elongated member pivotally coupled to a base member by a pivotal joint. The base member is securely mounted to a housing of the deadbolt lock and the protruding member has an elongated groove dimensioned and configured to receive the latch of the deadbolt lock and secure it within the groove such that the latch cannot be rotated to unlock the deadbolt lock. The protruding member is pivotally movable between a closed position wherein the latch is contained within the groove and an extended position wherein the protruding member is positioned away from the latch.

Methods and apparatus for using a look on a door lever handle are disclosed. The lock includes a base configured to mount the lock to a door having a lever handle and a lever handle guard pivotally attached to the base, the lever handle guard being pivotable between a locking position and a non-locking position. The lever handle guard is securable in the non-locking position. The lever handle guard includes first and second guard portions arranged to prevent rotation of the lever handle when the lever handle guard is in the locking position. When the lever handle guard is secured in the non-locking position, the first and second guard portions are arranged to permit rotation of the lever handle without contacting the first and second guard portions.

Disclosed is a security device for securing a deadbolt door lock having an interior face plate and a lever movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The security device includes a base member configured to be secured to the interior face plate of the deadbolt lock, and a lock member pivotably secured to the base member so that the lock member pivots between an open position and a closed position. The lock member is configured to prevent movement of the lever from the locked position to the unlocked position when the lock member is in the closed position and to permit movement of the lever from the locked position to the unlocked position when the lock member is in the open position.
