A lock assembly is secured in an upper portion of the door and has a head portion located adjacent the door exterior and a body portion extending from the head portion through the door. Projections are formed on the exterior of the lock assembly body portion and the door to coact with one another to secure the lock assembly in the door. In a preferred embodiment, the projections on the lock assembly are in the form of threads on the body portion and the projections on the door are in the form of tabs that extend into the grooves of the lock assembly body portion threads.
