A heavy duty sliding bolt type door lock. This type of lock bolt was used on the access doors of a coast artillery casemate (the gun position/battery).
The slide bolt was a bronxe casting with steel door guides and was used where metal on metal contact could be made to reduce the possablility of sparking when using the heavy steel doors.
