ABSTRACT:
A door control mechanism for use with a pivoted door and associated frame, and a combination door, door frame and door control mechanism especially as embodied in a truck, trailer, or cargo container. The control mechanism is comprised of cam-type latches on opposite ends of a shaft rotatably connected to a pivoted door by bearing members, and keepers secured to the door frame adjacent edges of the door that are transverse to the door pivot axis. The shaft can be turned about its longitudinal axis to engage and disengage the latches and keepers. The latch on at least one end of the shaft and its keeper are of small vertical height to fit on a narrow horizontal frame member of a truck, trailer or cargo container. The latch has two oppositely extending elongated portions with sides that converge and each portion has an aperture. The keeper has a base with a tapered post receivable in the aperture of one elongated latch portion and a latch-retaining member that engages and retains the other elongated latch portion.
