A security shield device is provided in two embodiments. One embodiment includes a front cover, a rear base and a connector member connecting the front cover to the rear base. The front cover is mounted to a slidebolt latch for movement between a covered position shielding a padlock shackle coupled to a latch portion of a slidebolt latch and an uncovered position displaced from the latch portion of the slidebolt latch. The rear base mates with the latch portion of the slidebolt latch so as to attach the rear base to the slidebolt latch when the padlock shackle is coupled to the slidebolt latch. The connector member prevents movement of the front cover relative to the slidebolt latch away from the rear base which would expose the shackle of the padlock. The other embodiment includes a front cover, a rear base connected to the front cover, and apertures defined therein aligned with openings in stationary and movable latch portions of a slidebolt latch. The aligned apertures and openings receive a padlock shackle to couple the security shield device and stationary and movable latch portions together with upper edge portions of the front cover and rear base disposed on opposite sides of the latch portions shielding the latch portions of the slidebolt latch and padlock shackle coupled thereto.
