A lock for locking by-passing type slidable closure panels in a closed position with adjacent ends of the panels in spaced overlapping relation. The lock includes a lock housing mounted on one of the panels and having a lock plug mounted for axial sliding and rotary movement about an axis perpendicular to the panels, and an elongated keeper on the other of the panels. The lock plug has a rotary latch member on its forward end engageable with the keeper when the plug is extended and rotated to a preselected position to hold the plug in its extended position, and the plug also has latch means at its forward end engageable with the keeper to lock the plug and keeper against relative movement in one direction crosswise of the plug axis. The lock housing and keeper are advantageously adhesively secured to the inner and outer panels respectively so that the lock and keeper can be mounted without requiring drilling of the panels and the lock and keeper remain in position on the panels when unlocked.
