ABSTRACT:
A latch bolt engages a striker to releaseably secure a first door to either a vehicle body or a second door by relative displacement of the latch towards the striker. The latch bolt moves in a first plane to releaseably retain the striker. The assembly includes a first vertical wedge arrangement and a second vertical wedge arrangement that substantially prevent movement between the latch and the striker in a direction parallel to the first plane when in a latched condition. The vertical wedge arrangements include first and second abutment surfaces on the striker arranged engage third and fourth complementary surfaces of the latch. The arrangements are provided laterally either side of a striker bar portion of the striker and laterally either side of the latch bolt.
