ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION For use with a reciprocating latch bolt or plunger having a transversely disposed slot, a thin elongate plate de- signed to fit a the usual space between the door edge and the frame and to engage in said slot to prevent the retraction of the latch bolt from the frame keeper, the latch bolt slot being of a width to accomodate the thickness of the plate. In a pre- ferred embodiment the plate is made of 18 or 20 gauge sheet metal which is sturdy enough to restrain the retraction of the latch bolt yet thin enough to fit in the normal door-to-frame clearance dimension and on removal from the latch bolt to be carried in one's wallet or purse. The plate may be provided with a latch accomoda- ting perforation near each end, with one o said perforations hav- ing a side opening thereto whereby the plate at this end is in the form of a hook, and each perforation has an inwardly extending projection or a selectably engageable in said latch bolt slot. In this form the latch bolt accessory is possessed of maximum versatility being useable in both reversed end-for-end positions and even when inverted.
