Security device

Apparatus for preventing unauthorized separation of a door from a cooperating buck assembly, the apparatus comprising, in combination:

• a first plate member carried by the door and extending in a plane parallel thereto;
• locking means separate from said first plate member for securing the door to the buck assembly, the locking means being carried by said door in spaced relationship with said first plate member;
• a second plate member affixed directly to the buck assembly and extending in a plane transverse to the door, the second plate member having a strike portion within the confines of the buck assembly and an anti-tampering portion projecting beyond the edge of the buck assembly toward the first plate member in coplanar relationship with the strike portion;
• a Z-shaped support element separately affixed directly to the buck assembly in juxtaposition with the second plate member, the support element including an edge flange in parallel abutting relationship with said anti-tampering portion, an intermediate flange parallel to the first plate member, and a transverse flange spaced from and parallel to the edge flange;
• and
• means on one of the plate members for defining a vertically extending slot in position to receive the other plate member when the door is closed, the plate members cooperating with each other in the door's closed position to prevent movement of the door in its plane.

Apparatus for preventing unauthorized separation of a room closing door from a cooperating buck assembly, the apparatus comprising, in combination:

• locking means within said door for securing the door to the buck assembly;
• a first plate member carried on the inside of the door separate from and in spaced relationship with the locking means and extending substantially the entire length of the door in a plane parallel thereto;
• a second plate member carried by the buck assembly and extending in a plane transverse to the door, the second plate member having a strike portion within the confines of the buck assembly in position to cooperate with the locking means and an anti-tampering portion projecting into the room beyond the edge of the buck assembly toward the first plate member;
• means for supporting the second plate member on the buck assembly;
• and
• means on one of the plate members for defining a series of vertically extending aligned slots in position to receive the other plate member when the door is closed, the plate members cooperating with each other in the door's closed position to prevent movement of the door in its plane.

• a first plate member carried by the door separate from and in spaced relationship with the locking means;
• a second plate member affixed directly to the buck assembly and extending in a plane transverse to the door, the second plate member having a strike portion in position to cooperate with the locking means and an antitampering portion projecting beyond the edge of the buck assembly toward the first plate member in coplanar relationship with the strike portion;
• a Z-shaped support element separately affixed directly to the buck assembly in juxtaposition with the second plate member, the support element including an edge flange in parallel abutting relationship with said antitampering portion, an intermediate flange parallel with the first plate member and rigidly affixed to the buck assembly, and a transverse flange spaced from and parallel to the edge flange;
• and
• means on one of the plate members for receiving the other plate member when the door is closed, the plate members cooperating with each other in the door'closed position to prevent movement of the door in its plane.

• a first plate member carried on the inside of the door separate from and in spaced relationship with the locking means and extending substantially the entire length of the door in a plane parallel thereto;
• a second plate member affixed directly to the buck assembly and extending in a plane transverse to the door, the second plate member having a strike portion within the confines of the buck assembly and in position to cooperate with the locking means and an anti-tampering portion projecting into the room beyond the edge of the buck assembly toward the first plate member in coplanar relationship with the strike portion;
• a Z-shaped support element separate from the plate members and affixed directly to the buck assembly in juxtaposition with the second plate member, the support element including an edge flange in parallel abutting relationship with said antitampering portion, an intermediate flange parallel with the first plate member and rigidly affixed to the buck assembly, and a transverse flange spaced from and parallel to the edge flange;
• and
• means on one of the plate members for defining a vertically extending slot in position to receive the other plate member when the door is closed, the plate members cooperating with each other in the door's closed position to prevent movement of the door in its plane.

Apparatus for preventing unauthorized separation of a room closing door from a cooperating buck assembly, the apparatus comprising, in combination:

• locking means within said door for securing the door to the buck assembly;
• a first plate member affixed to the inside of the door in a stationary position with respect thereto, the first plate member and the locking means being separately carried by said door in spaced relationship with each other;
• a second plate member affixed directly to the buck assembly in a stationary position with respect thereto, the second plate member having a strike portion within the confines of the buck assembly and an anti-tampering portion projecting into the room beyond the edge of the buck assembly toward the first plate member in coplanar relationship with the strike portion, the strike portion defining an aperture within the confines of the buck assembly in position to receive the locking means;
• a support element separately affixed directly to the buck assembly in position to support the anti-tampering portion on the second plate member;
• and
• means on one of the plate members for receiving the other plate member when the door is closed, the plate members cooperating with each other in the door's closed position to prevent movement of the door in its plane.
