ABSTRACT:
A cabinet lock has a one-piece housing with spaced front and back walls interconnected by an end wall and by a pair of spaced side walls. The housing has a first set of aligned holes formed through the front and back walls, and a second set of aligned holes formed through the side walls. A lock actuator mechanism is journaled by the first set of holes and includes an actuator movable between locked and unlocked positions. A rotary latch bolt mechanism is journaled by the second set of holes and includes a latch bolt movable between latched and unlatched positions. The lock actuator mechanism includes a first spring which biases an actuator toward its locked position. The latch bolt mechanism includes a second spring which biases the latch bolt toward its unlatched position. The lock actuator mechanism includes a cam with is interengageable with the latch bolt to retain the latch bolt in its latched position until the lock actuator is moved to its unlocked position. A feature of the cabinet lock is its highly versatile housing which may be used with a wide variety of lock actuator and latch bolt mechanisms to provide a series of heavy duty cabinet locks suitable for many different applications.
