A lock device and method for securing first and second bodies, such as window sashes, which are mounted for relative sliding movement, in a fixed relative position are disclosed. Each of the bodies has a hole extending transversely to the direction of the sliding movement. The holes are arranged to be axially aligned when the bodies are in the fixed relative position. The lock includes an elongate bolt insertable into the holes when they are aligned to prevent relative sliding movement between the bodies. The lock further includes a handle and a device for releasably axially attaching the handle to the bolt so that the bolt may be inserted into and withdrawn from the holes when aligned and so that the handle may be released from the bolt after insertion into the holes.
