CA 2568057

An adjustable locking mechanism,is provided for sliding. closures to limit sliding translation of a sliding window or patio door in a track of a channel. The locking mechanism includes a vise component having a fixed jaw member sad an opposing moving jaw member spaced apart in an adjustable fixed relationship; and an eccentric cam component being rotatable between a first opened position and a second closed position. The cam component is contiguous with the vise component to exert sufficient retaining force, in the closed position, to mount the locking mechanism across the span of the channel to limit the sliding translation of the window or patio door in the track. Alternatively, the vise component is retained across the channel span by compression exerted by a integral threaded bolt and nut. Accordingly, the improved locking mechanism provides a convenient means for adjustably securing sliding windows or patio doors in channels of varying dimensions.
