ABSTRACT:
A locking astragal for attaching to an inactive leaf of a double doorway. In the illustrated embodiment, an elongated astragal casing has a channel and bolt-slide assemblies mounted slidably within the channel. Each bolt-slide assembly includes a latching member and bolt. By depressing the latching member, the latching member can slide through the channel to extend and lock the bolts into indentations in the upper and lower surfaces of the door frame. The bolts may also be retracted back into the astragal to open the inactive leaf. In the illustrated embodiment, each latching member has an integral spring which simplifies fabrication and assembly.
