Abstract
A retrofittable, auto-resetting detention locking apparatus is disclosed. The disclosed locking apparatus may be retrofitted to an existing access point to prevent tampering with a doorway locking mechanism. The locking apparatus may include a main body and slide which are biased towards one another via a spring, the main body and slide being able to slidably engage with one another.

A retrofittable, auto-resetting detention locking apparatus, comprising:
- a main body defining a mounting hole, a pin guide, a slide guide, a slide track, a slide channel, a grub screw guide groove, and a concave divot;
- a first spring mount affixed to the main body and defining a first spring mounting hole;
- a slide comprising a first plate and a second plate joined by a rail constructed and arranged to slidably interact with slide guide and slidably travel within the slide channel and wherein the slide defines a grub screw guide groove and a concave divot;
- a second spring mount affixed to the slide and defining a second spring mounting hole;
- a resistance spring mounted to the first spring mounting hole and the second spring mounting hole;
- and
- a security pin fixed to the second plate.

A retrofittable, auto-resetting detention locking apparatus, comprising:
- a metal main body defining a mounting hole, a pin guide, a slide guide, a slide track, a slide channel, a grub screw guide groove, and a concave divot;
- a first spring mount affixed to the main body and defining a first spring mounting hole;
- a metal slide comprising a first plate and a second plate joined by a rail constructed and arranged to slidably interact with slide guide and slidably travel within the slide channel and wherein the slide defines a grub screw guide groove and a concave divot;
- a second spring mount affixed to the slide and defining a second spring mounting hole;
- a resistance spring mounted to the first spring mounting hole and the second spring mounting hole;
- a grub screw threadingly attached to the slide;
- and
- a security pin fixed to the second plate, the security pin being constructed and arranged to mechanically engage with a locking mechanism of a door.

A retrofittable, auto-resetting detention locking apparatus, comprising:
- a steel main body defining a mounting hole, a pin guide, a slide guide, a slide track, a slide channel, a grub screw guide groove, and a concave divot;
- a first spring mount affixed to the main body and defining a first spring mounting hole;
- a steel slide comprising a first plate and a second plate joined by a rail constructed and arranged to slidably interact with slide guide and slidably travel within the slide channel and wherein the slide defines a grub screw guide groove and a concave divot;
- a second spring mount affixed to the slide and defining a second spring mounting hole;
- a resistance spring mounted to the first spring mounting hole and the second spring mounting hole, the spring being constructed and arranged to automatically reset the retrofittable, auto-resetting detention locking apparatus and to create resistance for the slide during an attempted breach of the locking apparatus as the grub screw travels from the grub screw guide groove and into the concave divot;
- a grub screw threadingly attached to the slide;
- and
- a security pin fixed to the second plate, the security pin being constructed and arranged to mechanically engage with a locking mechanism of a door.
