PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastenings for Doors, Shutters, Gates, and
the like.
ALFRED RANSOм 185 Shoreditch London Shirt Manufacturer, do hereby declare-the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in locking bars for doors, shutters, gates
and the like. On that side of the locking bar which faces the door, and towards one
end of the said bar, I form a projection.
A slot or suitable opening is made in the door to receive the said projection.
A lock is placed on the inside of, or sunk in and secured to the door in such a
manner, that when the locking bar is put in position on the door, the lock may be
operated by means of a key inserted from the outside of the door; the said lock
shooting its bolt into a cavity formed in the aforesaid projection on the locking bar,
thus preventing the removal of the latter.
The remaining end of the locking bar which is not secured to the door by the
aforesaid projection and lock, may be secured to the door jamb, or in the case of
folding doors being used, it may be secured to the other door by any of the methods
commonly employed.

On that side of the locking bar which faces the door, and towards one end of the
said bar, I form a projection. A slot or suitable opening is made in the door to
receive the said projection. A lock is placed on the inside of, or sunk in and secured
to the door, in such a manner that when the locking bar is put in position on the
door, the lock may be operated by means of a key inserted from the outside of the
door, the said lock shooting its bolt into a cavity formed in the projection on
the locking bar, thus preventing the removal of the latter. The remaining end of
the locking bar which is not secured to the door by the aforesaid projection and lock,
may be secured to the door jamb or in the case of folding doors being used it may be
secured to the other door by any of the methods commonly employed.
I have illustrated an application of my invention to folding doors, in the accom-
panying drawings.

the projection formed on the locking bar. A is the lock. is the keyhole and D is
the bolt of the lock. Figure 2 is an outside elevation of the locking bar.
For further security this invention may be used in combination with the ordinary
shackle and padlock. This arrangement is illustrated in Figures 3, 4 and 5, with the
additional security of the flap F which is provided to cover the keyhole. A shackle D
is secured to the door so that, when the locking bar is placed in position and locked,
the flap F may be shut down over the shackle and the whole secured by means of the
nedlook

door, in combination with a lock fixed to the door for the purpose of locking the
aforesaid projection, when the locking bar is placed in position; as hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
