LOCKABLE SLIDING WINDOW APPARATUS

A lockable sliding window apparatus includes sliding window units having respective vertical frame members that are coupled at a closed configuration. Inner and outer segments of one frame member receive the other frame member therebetween. A combination dial lock is mounted to the outer segment and includes a lock pin extending through therethrough. The lock pin is immovable when the combination lock is locked and vice versa. A window pin extends through the outer segment of the one frame member and through the other frame member for locking the other frame member in place. When the combination lock is unlocked, the lock pin may be user actuated to release the window pin for opening the window units. Another embodiment includes an electronic keypad by which a user may enter a security code. Proper entry actuates a solenoid to retract a lack pin that may otherwise lock the window units together.
