MULTIPOINT LOCK FOR SLIDING PATIO DOOR

摘要

Disclosed is a structure for assisting in properly mounting a keeper hook to a closure frame, the keeper hook when mounted to a closure frame cooperating with a moveable latch in a housing along a side of a closure slidably movable in the closure frame to a closed position in which the latch cooperates with the keeper hook with the movable latch being accessible by a keeper hoo k through an opening in the latch housing. The structure comprises a keeper ho ok secured to a base, the base being securable along one side to a closure fram e and including a portion projecting from the one side for visibly marking a closu re frame when the base is pressed against the closure frame. An alignment guide is adapted to support the keeper hook in a cooperative position with the latch when the base is not secured to a closure frame, the guide including a U-shaped member having two upright legs connected by a bottom cross member and an outer surface substantially adapted to conform to the latch housing opening. Thus the guid e is adapted to be received in the housing opening and is adapted to receive the keeper hook between the two U-shaped member legs and to support the keeper hook by the bottom cross member in a position substantially cooperating with a movab le latch.
