Patent ID: 8561440

Claim:
A slide bolt lock for locking a door to a frame, the frame having a slide bolt aperture, the lock comprising: a backing plate having a door mount adapted to fix the backing plate to the door, the backing plate further include a pair of opposed risers each having an aperture therein and a lock socket, the door mount being a pair of backing plate apertures through which a mechanical fastener may be inserted to secure the backing plate to the door, one of the backing plate apertures being within the lock socket; a slide bolt having a distal end and a proximal end, the slide bolt slidably and pivotally captured within the aperture of each riser and further including fixed thereto a lock cover, the slide bolt and lock cover slidable between an extended position and a retracted position, the distance therebetween defined by the distance between each riser of the backing plate, the lock cover including a lock mechanism adapted to selectively engage the lock socket of the backing plate when the slide bolt is in the extended position, the lock cover substantially covering the backing plate when in the extended position; whereby with the slide bolt in the retracted position the door is free to swing clear of the frame, and with the slide bolt in the extended position and the distal end thereof engaged with the slide bolt aperture of the frame, the lock cover may be pivoted so that the lock mechanism engages the lock socket to lock the door to the frame.
