Abstract
A new and useful door locking device, door locking assembly, and method of constructing a door locking assembly is provided. The door locking device includes first and second subassemblies configured to connect to a door jamb and door, respectively, a first locking member connected to one of the subassemblies and a second locking member connected to the other subassembly. The first and second locking members are selectively engaged to lock the door with the jamb and selectively disengaged to unlock the door from the jamb. The connection of the second subassembly to the door being is designed to allow adjustment of the one of the locking components in a plurality of directions, to enable the door locking device to be adjusted provide a predetermined locking orientation of the first and second locking members. The connection of the first subassembly to the door jamb is designed to provide minimal, easily repaired, intrusion to the structure of the doorjamb; and the connection of the second subassembly to the door is of a type that connects to the door surface without damage to the door while providing a secure connection of the locking components when they are selectively engaged.
