sliding bolt
Simple lock bar
A sliding bolt is a simple locking mechanism consisting of a metal bar that slides horizontally into a bracket or socket to secure a door or gate.
Unlike locks requiring keys, sliding bolts operate by hand: She threw the sliding bolt and went to bed.
Also called a barrel bolt when the bolt slides through cylindrical guides.
