Locking device for door keeper bar

Abstract

A steel plate hasp is permanently fixedly attached to a door keeper bar, the bar for rotating about its longitudinal axis between door closed and open states. A casing has a plurality of walls forming a housing cavity in which the hasp is received through an opening in a housing wall with bolt seal shank apertures aligned in the hasp and housing. The casing may be permanently secured to the door by bolts or welds or may be selectively attached and removed from the hasp in a locked and unlocked state without fixed attachment to the door. A bolt seal has a shank with a head at one end wherein the head engages a housing wall and a locking body engages and locks to the shank other end and to a further housing wall. The shank between the head and lock body is fully enclosed by the housing and door to preclude access to the shank by tampering tools. The casing when secured to the hasp cooperates with the door to prevent the keeper bar from rotating open. The hasp rotates within the housing cavity of the permanent type casing. Other casing embodiments are disclosed for use with different latch hasps.
