Abstract: A slider for use with a slide lock of the type having a guide support and a latch slidably movable through apertures of the guide support. The slider includes a main body having opposite first and second surfaces, and mounting hooks provided on the first surface of the main body for removably mounting the slider onto an aperture of the guide support of the slide lock. The slider further includes a channel extending inside the main body from the first surface to the second surface thereof, the channel being shaped and sized to allow the latch of the slide lock to freely slide therethrough. The channel is further devised to reduce friction and vibrations of the latch sliding through the channel of the slider. The thickness of the main body is devised so as to absorb the noise and vibrations caused by the impact from the end of travel of the sliding latch hitting against the guide support of the slide lock. The above-mentioned features of the slider enable to substantially prolong the service life of the slide lock.
