ABSTRACT:
A fastener for sliding doors or windows comprises one or more bolt assemblies 8 having spring loaded bolts with heads 15 mounted in housing set into the stile 7. The fastener also comprises a receiver assembly 9 including a pair of rails 23,24 having similar aligned key-hole openings 25,26 respectively. The outer retainer rail 23 is slidable relative to the inner rail by operation of an actuator 27 controlled by a handle assembly 10. When the bolt heads 15 are received in the aligned openings 25,26 on closing of the stile 7 to the jamb, the handle 29 of the assembly 10 is turned causing the retainer rail 23 to move downwards to trap the heads 15 of the bolt in the narrower parts of each opening 25 in the retainer rail 23. The handle assembly 10 preferably includes a lock to prevent the handle 20 being rotated after locking. The spring loaded bolts provide a "buffer" action and prevent damage to the receiver assembly even if in the fastening position. The bolt assemblies may be mounted on a jamb with the receiver and handle assemblies on the stile.
