T r l The stop comprises a metalarm having its'upper end bent at right angles to form an engaging part toibe positionedbeneath the arm :8, .and thezmain part of the stop is further provided with a lateral extension 18' forming a finger piece which'can' be readilyf grasped fonmoving the stop beneath the 'arln' 8,i'ormoving-the 'same from the arm 8. This stop member 16 is pivotally mounted at 19 bymeans of a rivet or thread which may, be engaged -''with the plate 5 or extended through the door if desired. Secured to the plate 5'and arranged adjacent the sleeve =6 is a staple 20 which, when the arm 8 is moved to its locked position,"as

shown in Figure 1, can receive theshackle of a padlock or the like, said shackle. embracing 'the arm 8 as 'well' as one side of the staple 20 in order -to provide additional means for ilocking'the arm 8 against .movem'ent.

Itwill be apparent from the foregoing that my improved fastener can beused either "on barn doors, garage doors or in any place wherethe device may-be applicable In the operation of the device, it will be noted that itr may be readily actuated from'the interior orexterior of thedoor. In other words, if the-stop member 16 is thrown to an inoperatl1e door by grasping the I a moving the arm 8 downward ly which in turn will move, the arm. 7-v upwardly, disengaging readily unfasten tive positioma party may u b H anc e mem er the hook member 12 ,from the rim 4and as the arm-7 is swungltoan entirely unlocked position, it will come to rest in the recess 15.

The (1061a may then beswung open by pulling .outwardly on the handle 14. Afterflthe party passes through thedoor, the handle member 13' may be then grasped to move the arm 7 downwardly" again engaging the hook ;1 2 with the arm 4. This will retain the door a-secured position'whilethe partyis in the building, andas the arms 7 and 8. are

not securely locked againstlmovemeng-"the party may readily disengage the hook 12 from the rim 4 from the inside.

It will be apparent that the arms 7 and 8 may be I readily locked against accidental displacement through the medium of a stop member 16, but when it is desired to securely lock the device against manipulation by unauthorized persons, a padlock is engaged with the staple 20 and the arm 8 sothat it y will beimpossible to actuate the arm 8 without releasing'the p adloek'.

, The plate 3 may be secured to the side of the door or to the'frame 1 in any suitable manner, but in the present instance I have illustrated lag screws 21 which pass through the plate and engage withthe door.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be apparent that slight changes may, be made'in the construction when putting the invention into practice without departing from the spirit of the same or the scope of the appended claims. a Iclaim: f jv V l I 1.
