ABSTRACT:
A door closure arrangement is provided for a paint cabinet or like enclosure containing combustible materials. Right and left hand doors are hinged to door jambs in the cabinet's opening and an overlapping lip is provided on one of the doors to insure that no gap between the doors exists when the doors are closed. Door closures, held in an open position by temperature sensitive fusible links, rotate the doors from an open to a closed position should a fire melt the fusible links. A spring biased, lever actuated door sequencing mechanism insures that the doors closed in proper sequence without interference from the overlapping lip. A spring biased, lever actuated mechanism automatically latches or locks the doors when they are rotated into the closed position whereby the adverse effects of the fire on the contents of the cabinet are minimized.
