(57) A latch plate/staple for use in securing an opening door or window relative to a
frame adapted to receive a latch or bolt of a lock.
In order to locate the staple more securely in position there is provided a flange
member (13', 13", 13"', 60, 60') which in its fitted position extends in a direction
normal to the plane of the opening by a substantial distance relative to the thickness
of the opening member or rebate therefor, and locating means of or cooperating with
said flange member is provided at said substantial distance. The locating means comprises
at least screw means (11', 74) and preferably flange extension means. The flange extension
means takes the form of a projection (27) extending into the frame, or a widthwise
extension (21, 42, 84).
The screw means and/or flange extension, being disposed at a greater distance from
the edge of the door that known designs, results in a stronger fixing.
