adjustable tempered glass door lock
Explanation:
The concept of 'floating' would apply to its operation. However it is a fixed unit that can be adjusted as to its position anywhere along the edge of the glass prior to locking.

hope the accompanying picture shows up as it demonstrates how the lip is the retaining or locking feature. It is used where there are double swinging glass doors.

I fail to find any referneces on English websites using the term 'floating' for this purpose.

Removable glass door lock


Explanation:
From the product photo, this looks like a lock rather than a dead bolt - a bolt is a metal rod or bar. I have done an internet search and can't find anything similar on English language pages (not translated ones)
