Abstract:
A theft-proof removable door hardware illumination device comprising:a base operable to be mounted on a mounting surface, a door hardware illumination assembly operable to provide illumination; and a case supporting the assembly, said case and base being removably interconnected in such a manner that disconnection of the case from the base requires movement of the case in a disconnect direction that is at least substantially parallel to the surface to which the base is mounted, said case and base cooperating when interconnected to prevent movement of the case in a direction generally perpendicular to the disconnect direction, said base has a generally flat configuration, said disconnect direction is substantially parallel to the base, said case and base being rotatably interconnected such that disconnection of the case from the base requires rotational movement of the case relative to the base in the disconnect direction.
