ABSTRACT:
A slide latch for latching the leading edge of a door, formed of a plastic panel, to an adjacent jamb-like member, is formed of a narrow, thin, horizontally elongated, flat plate positioned upon the door surface for sliding movement towards and away from the jamb-like member. Integral, narrow, rigid flanges, forming sled-like runners, are formed along the horizontally elongated side edges of the slider for slidable engagement with the panel surface. The slider is held within an open-ended, horizontally elongated, flattened loop that is struck-out of the panel. Stops are formed near the opposite ends of the slider for engaging the ends of the loops and thereby limiting the sliding movement of the slider. One of the stops may be enlarged to form a manual grip for moving the slider. The slider may be initially installed in, or removed for replacement from, the loop by pulling the slider with sufficient manually applied force to cause the loop to resiliently deflect to permit passage of the smaller stop through the loop. A cover panel over the struck-out area has a cut-out window, through which selected portions of indicia located on the slider can be visually seen.
