Abstract
Disclosed is a locking device for locking bypassing sliding doors having support frames positioned in close proximity when the doors are translated to a position for locking. A locking arm is carried by one of the support frames and locking means are carried by the other support frame and are slidably engagable with the locking arm when the supports are in close proximity, thereby locking the doors.References Cited
