ABSTRACT:
A door latch for use with metal lockers or compartments frequently found on service trucks, panel trucks and the like, includes a mounting member with a recess formed into its front. A shaft is positioned in the recess. A latch member is mounted to the shaft and extends through an aperture formed in the recess. The aperture is sized so that the latch member is rotatable between a latched position and an unlatched position. Biasing means mounted to the back of the base member biases the latch member in the latched position. A lever is mounted to the shaft with means to coact with the latch member to rotate the latch member from the latched position to the unlatched position. The lever preferably is mounted with a pawl extending from a first edge along the front of the latch member so that as the lever is pulled outwardly from the recess the pawl contacts the latch member and causes it to rotate.
