Abstract
A lock box mounting assembly (10, 101) for removably mounting a lock box (12, 116) to the hinge-edge (104) of a door (26, 106) includes a U-shaped bracket (30, 102, 103) formed for placement between the door (26, 106) and the door jamb (28, 107). The U-shaped bracket (30,102, 103) has an outer leg portion (32, 109), an inner leg portion (34, 108), and a central portion (36, 111) formed to extend through a reveal space between the hinge-edge of the door (26, 106) and the door jamb (28, 107) when the door is in a closed position. The inner leg portion (34) preferably includes at least one hinge-receiving slot (52a, 52b, 118) dimensioned to receive a door hinge (58,117) for vertically supporting the U-shaped bracket (30, 102, 103) on a door hinge (58, 117). In one form of the mounting assembly (101) the brackets (102, 103) substantially encircle and are locked to the door hinge (117) for increased security.
