ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism for a sliding door or window. The latch includes a striker (normally mounted on the door or window frame); a housing aligned with the striker (and normally mounted on the sliding door or window panel) and with walls forming an interior chamber; one opening in the front of the chamber and a second opening at least partially in the back of the chamber; and a spindle and a pivot pin disposed transversely within the chamber; an elongated latch bar pivotally mounted on the spindle, with its front end projecting out of the first opening and its back end projecting out of the second opening. Its front end can be releasably latched to the striker in response to motion of its back end. Also included is a hold-open bar for preventing engagement of the latch bar with the striker, a deadbolt abutting the latch bar, a guide to permit the deadbolt to extend and retract though the first opening, so that when the deadbolt cooperates with the striker and prevent the latch bar from pivoting on the spindle and the moveable panel from being removed from the door frame. Separate springs urge the latch bar into a latched configuration and the hold-open bar into a disengaged position. The latch can be reversible and used interchangeably with both right- and left-hand opening doors or windows. Also, it can be mounted on the surface of the door and panel frames or mounted internally of those frames.
