Abstract:
An improved door lock cover of a type including a centrally disposed web and a pair of side plates. The web has a generally rectangular medially disposed opening to accommodate the normally exposed end plate forming a part of a door lock. Extending into the opening at the sides thereof, there are a pair of longitudinally oriented curved flanges forming channels. An extruded plate underlies the opening and has corresponding flanges engaging the channels, the ends of the plate contacting the transverse sides of the opening which may also be bordered by flanges. The transverse sides of the opening are also provided with tab-like extensions which are bendable to engage a rear surface of the plate and retain it in position. In a second embodiment, the tabs are substituted by screw fasteners which penetrate the web and engage ends of a slightly longer plate. In a third form, the tabs and screws are substituted by an epoxy adhesive.
