A lock for a slidable door. The lock comprises an elongate body formed with an open catch compartment. A back plate closes the catch compartment. There is a catch opening in a first side wall of the catch compartment. A pivotable hub is borne by aligned bearing means in the back plate of the catch compartment. A catch is mounted on the hub and is reciprocable with the hub between a lock position from which the catch projects through the catch opening and an unlocked position in which the catch is within the catch compartment. The lock has means to permit selection of the lock or unlock position of the catch and means to maintain the catch in the selected position.
