What is the reason for the little screw at the end of the lock plate??

Hi Bob,
What appears to be a screw slot is actually, ooops, a hole thru the plate. I filed the tail of the lock to make it level with the surrounding wood, but I didn't account for the depth of the notch for the sear spring on the inside of the plate. I haven't decided whether to have it welded up, or just leave it. It does make folks wonder.
