A grate is rigidly attached to the second frame. To prevent unauthorized entry, a channel attached to the second frame has a pair of locking bars slidably mounted in the channel and movable into engagement with apertures in both frames to lock the second frame in its closed position. A lever handle and extension arm are pivotally attached to the locking bars to cause movement between their locking and release positions.
