ABSTRACT:
A latch secured to a cabinet door includes dual flexible prongs having bulbous ends for engaging an anchor mounted within a cabinet. Upon closing of the cabinet door, the prongs flex and the bulbous ends snap into depressions within the anchor to restrict opening of the cabinet door to a limited extent. Upon initial opening of the cabinet door, both prongs must be manually simultaneously flexed to disengage the bulbous ends from the anchor and permit full opening of the cabinet door.
