ABSTRACT:
A locking strut for use on sliding doors, windows and other sliding closures. The locking strut is supplementary to any closure lock. The strut has at least one receiver in the bottom surface to receive one or more guide rails included in the guide channel of the casement. The apparatus also preferably includes a hold or holds that allow easier insertion and handling. One strut may be used in the casement both when the sliding door is in the open position and the closed position. This is allowed by having one end received in the casement upright in a first orientation for a first slider position. The other end does not fit within the casement in a second slider position. This allows the strut to serve as both a supplementary locking device and as a threshold cover to exclude debris from the guide channel when the slider is open.
