Adjustable door lock and associated method

An adjustable door lock for locking a misaligned or off-set door relative to a support wall adjacent to the door, said adjustable door lock comprising:

• a catch plate;
• a catch being adjustably connected to said catch plate and having a channel formed therein;
• a door plate disposed adjacent to said catch plate;
• and
• a locking bolt slidably supported by said door plate and slidably reciprocated along a first linear path passing along said door plate and said channel when said channel of said catch is aligned with said first linear path;
• wherein said catch is automatically adjusted along a second linear path orthogonally registered relative to said first linear path when said channel of said catch is aligned with said first linear path such that said channel automatically becomes axially aligned with said locking bolt as said locking bolt ingresses and egresses said catch;
• wherein a proximal end of said locking bolt extends beyond said door plate when said locking bolt is extracted from said channel and retracted to an unlocked position away from said catch;
• wherein said catch plate has a body and a plurality of flanges positioned on an exterior face of said body such that a corresponding gap is formed between said body and each of said flanges, respectively:
• wherein said catch is configured to be positioned and selectively displaced along said first linear path and through at least of one of said gaps.
