Door latch clasp assembly

A method of using a door latch clasp assembly configured for use with a door having a front surface, a rear surface, a side surface extending from the front surface to the rear surface, a door latch assembly, a door latch plate disposed on the side surface of the door, and a face bore extending from the front surface to the rear surface and having an interior perimeter wall with an arcuate cross-sectional shape, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an arcuate member of the door latch clasp assembly, the arcuate member having an arcuate face, a first threaded aperture positioned proximate a first end, a second threaded aperture positioned proximate an opposing second end, and a latch assembly aperture positioned between the first threaded aperture and the second threaded aperture,
• wherein the arcuate member is configured to seat against the interior perimeter wall of the face bore of the door,
• wherein the first threaded aperture aligns with a first aperture of the door latch plate of the door latch assembly, the door latch plate is positioned in a latch plate recess disposed in the side surface of the door, and the second threaded aperture aligns with a second aperture of the door latch plate of the door latch assembly, and
• wherein the arcuate member has an outer major surface and an opposing inner major surface, each of the first threaded aperture and the second threaded aperture is disposed on the arcuate face and extends from the outer major surface to the opposing inner major surface, and a portion of the door latch assembly extends through both the outer major surface and the opposing inner major surface, and
• wherein the arcuate member has a maximum thickness in a range of from about 0.1 inches to about 0.25 inches;
• providing a first latch plate screw;
• providing a second latch plate screw;
• positioning the arcuate member of the door latch clasp assembly against the arcuate cross-sectional shape of the interior perimeter wall of the face bore of the door;
• extending the first latch plate screw through the first aperture of the door latch plate and threading the first latch plate screw into the first threaded aperture of the arcuate member;
• and
• extending the second latch plate screw extending through the second aperture of the door latch plate and threading the second latch plate screw into the second threaded aperture of the arcuate member.
