Abstract
Abstract A lock securing assembly is provided, which is especially adapted for immobilizing a store door lock so that the door and lock cannot be opened from the outside even with use of the proper key therefor, but may be easily opened from the inside thereof, which lock securing assembly includes bar anchor means, such as a bracket adapted to be connected to a door, said bracket having an inclined internal passageway, and a slotted bar the slotted end of which is adapted to engage a knob disposed in or on a lock, and the other end of which is adapted to be retained in the inclined passageway of the bar anchor means. The inclined passageway in the bar anchor means allows for pivotal-like movement of the end of the slotted bar disposed in such passageway to facilitate removal of the slotted bar from the knob of the lock without having to remove the bar anchor means from the door or the knob from the lock.
