ABSTRACT:
A low silhouette closure control mechanism especially designed for a swinging or pivoted door of a highway vehicle, such as, a truck or trailer. The mechanism includes a plurality of cam-type latch or bolt members welded to an elongated shallow channel member and suitably spaced therealong. The channel member is rotatably connected by pintle pins to hinge members fixed to the pivoted closure or door adjacent to its non-pivoted or free edge, that is, the edge of the door remote from the edge hinged to the door frame of the vehicle body. The latch members connected to the channel member cooperate with discrete keeper members connected to the adjacent side of the door frame or to the adjacent side of the second door if employed with double doors. The pivotal axis for the channel member which carries the latch members is located at or substantially at the free edge of the door thus locating it close to the keeper members. A handle is connected to the channel member for rotating the same to engage and disengage the latch members with their respective keeper members. Modified latch and keeper members are constructed to provide an anti-rack capability.
