ABSTRACT:
A combination handle and latching mechanism for sliding doors and windows includes a section of a first extrusion, in the form of an elongated base member which is secured to the frame. Two spaced angled slots are formed through the base member, with a first end near the frame and a second end located a greater distance from the frame when the base member is secured to the frame. A movable operating member overlies the base member and has rods therethrough and passing through the first and second slots to permit the operating member to be moved from a first position with the rods located in the slots at the end nearest the frame to a second position with the rods located in the slots at a greater distance from the frame to move the operating member from a position near the frame to a position away from the frame. An inwardly turned latching flange extends along one side of the operating member to overlie an outwardly extending flange adjacent the frame. When the operating member is in the first position, the sliding door or window is locked against sliding movement. When the operating member is moved to the second position, the latching flange is pulled away from the frame; so that the sliding door or window may be opened.
