This lock is constructed from diecast and comes in a painted aluminum color. The 1-1/2 in. throw bolt may be manually or key locked. Helps to prevent forced entry and may be locked in ventilating position. Can be used on patio doors, sheds, and utility doors to help prevent a forced entry. May also be mounted in a ventilating position and keep the door secure.
Works really well. We have used them all over the house over the years. One caveat: it may happen that the spring gets misaligned, which makes it hard to close the lock without manually adjusting the spring. I believe this is a rare occurrence of a manufacturing fault, not a general design flaw. Over all, this is an excellent lock for sliding doors.. Anonymous. Fri May 08 2026
