ABSTRACT:
An improved latch structure for releasably locking a door to a cabinet including switch structure for permitting operation of electrical apparatus associated therewith to be operated only when the door is in the latched closed position. The switch is hidden within the door behind the latch bolt so as to be operated substantially only by the strike which has a preselected configuration to effect the latching and switch operating operations. The bolt may be operated manually to release the door from the latched condition, and in the illustrated embodiment, an improved pivotally mounted operator is provided for effecting the desired unlatching movement of the bolt.
