Abstract:

A security device is provided for securing a sliding closure movable in one direction against one aperture frame and movable in an opposite direction toward an opposed aperture frame. The security device includes a handle, a press bar, and a fulcrum component for interconnecting the handle and the press bar to one another. The press bar is disposable between the sliding closure and the opposed aperture frame. Also, the handle promotes release of the press bar from its disposition between the sliding closure and the opposed aperture frame when a force is applied to the handle and the handle is movable between a release ready position and a stowage position in the handle.
