Patent ID: 7360805

Claim:
A double lock system for securing a sliding door assembly having a stationary door and a movable door that moves laterally with respect to the stationary door comprising: a tubing section; a first sleeve adapted to receive a first end of the tubing section, the first sleeve having at least one hole disposed therethrough for receiving a locking pin therethrough; a second sleeve adapted to receive a second end of the tubing section, the second sleeve having at least one hole disposed therethrough for receiving a locking pin therethrough; and a bracket assembly, the bracket assembly adapted to receive the first and second sleeves, wherein the tubing section, the at least one sleeve and the bracket assembly cooperate to secure the locking system in a fixed position relative to the sliding door assembly the bracket assembly, and including a first bracket adapted to fixedly be secured to either a stationary or a movable door having a first element having at least one hole disposed therethrough for receiving an associated fastener therethrough to mount and secure the first bracket to either the stationary or the movable door of the door lock assembly, a second element substantially at a 90° angle to the first element, the second element has at least one hole disposed therethrough also for receiving an associated fastener therethrough to mount and secure the first bracket to either the stationary door or the movable door of the sliding door assembly, and at least one cross-bracing element disposed between the first element and the second element, and wherein the first element and the second element cooperate with the cross-bracing element to receive the at least one sleeve and to retain the at least one sleeve in a fixed position relative to the bracket, a second bracket, the second bracket having a first member having at least one hole disposed therethrough for receiving an associated fastener therethrough to mount and secure the second bracket to either the stationary or the movable door, a second member at a substantially 90° angle from the first element having an associated hole disposed therethrough also for receiving an associated fastener therethrough to further secure the second bracket to the movable door, and a third member at a substantially 90° angle to both the first member and the second member having an associated hole threaded bored disposed of receiving a fastener which may be adjusted to retain the tubing section in a fixed position relative to the double lock system securing the sliding door assembly.
