First Claim
1. A keylock assembly attachable to a door for locking a door to a housing frame comprising:
- a keylock device including;
a keylock; and
a latch member movable by the keylock to a locked position where a portion of the housing frame retains the latch member to lock the door to the housing frame;
a securing device attached to the keylock device, wherein when the door is in a closed position, the securing device engages a corresponding structure of the housing frame to secure the door to the housing frame independent of the keylock being in a locking position;
wherein the securing device is a ball stud having a threaded portion screwed into the keylock.

Abstract
A keylock assembly including both a keylock device for locking a door to a chassis frame and a securing device for securing the door to the chassis frame so that the door can be secured to the chassis frame without having to lock the door. The chassis may house a computer system that includes a processor and a peripheral device. The keylock device includes a latch member and a keylock wherein the securing device includes a threaded portion screwed into the keylock to attach the latch member to the keylock. One example of a securing device attached to the keylock device is a ball stud. To secure the door to the chassis frame, the ball stud engages a corresponding structure, such as a two pronged clip, when the door is in a closed position with respect to the chassis frame. The door may be removably and pivotally attached to the housing frame via a hinge.
