ABSTRACT:
A latch of the pull-up type for attaching one member to another, such as cabinet door to a cabinet, is unlatched and latched by turning the latch handle in one direction or the other. When the door is in a latched position, rotating the unlatching direction initially causing a spring-biased member carrying a latching pawl to move axially inward and away from the engaging surface. The inward movement of the shaft is permitted because a cam in the latch body is moved rotationally to present downwardly sloping cam surfaces of second cam member. An adjustable pawl member is provided which can be positioned to operate over a range of distances relative to the latch body.
