ABSTRACT:
A foot operated cabinet latch concealed in the cabinet kick-space of commonly used storage cabinets in, for example, kitchens and bathrooms. The cabinet latch has an operator knob located in the cabinet kick-space and a flexible lever and strike located inside the cabinet. Operation of the latch is accomplished by engaging a person's foot with the knob and pushing in an upwards direction. This action serves to disengage the lever from the strike and the cabinet door can then be opened.
