A method of door-contactless mounting a lockable fixture onto a jamb comprises: (a) providing a door-contactless jamb mountable lockable fixture comprises: (I) a jamb moiety comprising: (i) a jamb base part; (ii) at least one aperture formed in said jamb base part, configured to face a jamb of a door; (iii) at least one fastener operationally connectable to said at least one aperture, configured to firmly affix said jamb base part to said jamb; (iv) at least one member selected from the group consisting of: a notch and aperture, configured to operationally connect with an - 22 - interlocking element therein; (v) at least one structural element, configured to prevent a rotation of said jamb moiety relative to a door moiety; (II) a door moiety comprising: (i) a door part, mountable onto said jamb moiety; (ii) an essentially hollow encasement, configured to receive and accommodate a locking device therein; (iii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of: a notch and aperture, configured to operationally connect with said interlocking element; (iv) at least one structural element, configured to prevent a rotation of said door moiety relative to said jamb moiety; (III) a controllably lockable mechanism, configured for securing said door- contactless jamb mountable lockable fixture comprising: (i) an interlocking element, operationally connectable to said door moiety and operationally connectable to said jamb moiety; (ii) a locking device, operationally connectable to said at least one interlocking element; (iii) a key, configured to manipulate said locking device; (b) firmly affixing said jamb base part of said jamb moiety to said jamb, by operationally connecting said at least one fastener through said at least one aperture to said jamb; (c) disposing said at least one structural element of said jamb moiety in a predefined position relative to said at least one structural element of said - 23 - door moiety, (d) preventing a rotation of said jamb moiety relative to a door moiety; (e) operationally connecting said interlocking element of said controllably lockable mechanism to said at least one member in said jamb base part of said jamb moiety; (f) operationally connecting said interlocking element of said controllably lockable mechanism to said at least one member in said door part of said door moiety; (g) operationally interconnecting said jamb moiety to said door moiety by said interlocking element; (h) manipulating said locking device by said key, thereby securing said controllably lockable mechanism and said door-contactless jamb mountable lockable fixture in a closed configuration.

12. The method, as in claim 11, wherein said at least one fastener is selected from the group consisting of: a screw, bolt, clamp, nail and rivet.

13. The method, as in claim 11, wherein said controllably lockable mechanism is a padlock, wherein said interlocking element is a shackle of said padlock.

14. The method, as in claim 11, wherein said at least one structural element, configured to prevent a rotation of said jamb moiety relative to said door moiety and said at least one structural element, configured to prevent a rotation of said door moiety relative to said jamb moiety form an interlocking arrangement. - 24 -

15. The method, as in claim 11, wherein said controllably lockable mechanism is a straight shackle padlock, wherein said interlocking element is a straight shackle of said straight shackle padlock.

16. The method, as in claim 11, wherein said controllably lockable mechanism forms an integral part of said essentially hollow encasement of said door moiety.

17. The method, as in claim 11, wherein said door moiety is configured to essentially obstruct an access to said at least one aperture formed in said jamb base part.

18. The method, as in claim 11, wherein said door moiety embodies an essentially T-shaped form and said jamb moiety embodies an essentially U-shaped form.

19. The method, as in claim 11, wherein in a closed configuration said jamb base part forms an essentially planar conformation with said door part.

20. The method, as in claim 11, wherein in a closed configuration said jamb base part forms an essentially orthogonally shaped conformation with said door part.
