| 20110215596 | CABINET LATCH - A latch for securing a cabinet door to a cabinet body is disclosed. The latch includes a cam and cam follower configured to move in a pivoting manner to engage and disengage a hook to and from a striker. All the working parts of the latch are installed inside the cabinet such that they are hidden from view, whether the drawer is opened or closed. To prevent the striker from punching through the cabinet door and damaging the decorative bezel or button situated at the external side of the door, the internal side of the door defines a pocket that provides an integrated striker stop to receive the striker when the cabinet is closed. The decorative bezel or button may be detached and replaced independent of the latch. | 09-08-2011 |
