ABSTRACT:
A locking device is provided for securing a first cabinet panel member having an opening therein to a second cabinet panel member having an opening therein. The locking device includes a base flange, an upper body portion, and a lower body portion. The lower body portion is inserted into the opening in the second cabinet panel member and a plurality of spring legs engage the second cabinet panel member to lock the two together. The first cabinet panel member is moved toward the upper portion of the locking device until the upper portion of the locking device is within the opening in the first cabinet panel member. A catch pawl retentively engages the first cabinet panel member in that position. The base flange of the locking device separates the upper and lower body members from one another and isolates the first cabinet panel member from the second cabinet panel member.
