Sliding Door Lock

thingiverse

Very convenient little sliding door lock! Perfect for chicken pen doors, dog pens, or to finally keep that door in place to protect your valuable crops from any wildlife (or your dog, speaking from experience). The sliding lock consists of 4 parts: - the door piece (big piece) - the pole piece (smaller piece) - slider - slider knob You are fully free to choose whether you want the door piece with or without my logo :) Together with these 4 parts, you will need 6 screws which can fit in the 5 mm diameter holes, any screw should work. I recommend printing this part in ABS, since it is more resilient against various weather types. The version shown in the thumbnail picture was printed in PLA and has been holding up well for a couple of weeks, although I have to note that the weather conditions are rather soft in my area (not too warm, cold or rainy). If the slider knob and slider do not fit nicely together for some reason, a little hammering and super glue never fails anyone ;) So feel free to download this very practical and nice-looking sliding door lock and save yourself a couple of bucks in a hardware store! P.S. Feel free to leave a comment with your feedback for further improvements or a post of your own version! (or you may also donate directly on paypal.me/yprencipe :) )
