slide bolt
Simple bar lock
A slide bolt is a simple locking mechanism consisting of a metal bar that slides horizontally into a bracket or catch to secure a door or gate.
Unlike locks requiring keys, slide bolts operate by hand: She threw the slide bolt and felt safer.
They provide basic security and are common on bathroom doors, gates, and barn doors.
