Sliding Door Lock

thingiverse

Very convenient little sliding door lock! Perfect for securing chicken pens, dog enclosures, or protecting valuable crops from wildlife or unwanted pets. The sliding lock consists of four essential parts: - a sturdy door piece - a smaller pole piece - the slider itself - the slider knob You're free to choose whether you want the door piece with or without my logo. Together with these four pieces, six screws are required, which can fit into 5 mm diameter holes - any screw will do. I recommend printing this part in ABS for optimal durability against various weather conditions. The version shown in the thumbnail picture was printed in PLA and has held up well for a couple of weeks, despite relatively mild weather in my area. If the slider knob and slider don't fit together properly, a little hammering and some super glue can usually resolve the issue. Download this practical and attractive sliding door lock to save yourself money on hardware store purchases! P.S.
