ABSTRACT:
An improved door and drawer lock or latch having special utility in recreational vehicles, boats, emergency vehicles and the like is disclosed. The door lock comprises a latch housing having at least one toothed rack gear assembly, a pinion gear member and an elongated shaft. The elongated shaft is rotatably disposed in the pinion gear and extends outwardly therefrom. A retractable bolt member is also disposed in the latch housing and has an extended and a retracted position. In the extended position, the bolt engages a strike plate mounted on the frame or stile of the cabinet. The bolt member is coupled to the rack such that movement of the rack in a predetermined direction causes the bolt to move into the retracted position. A door knob is also coupled to the latch housing by an elongated hollow stem which extends circumferentially about the shaft member. The shaft member is secured therein such that movement of the knob causes the pinion gear member to rotate and thereby move the bolt into the retracted position. By the use of the door lock of the present invention, the lock may be coupled to the door in a plurality of positions vis-a-vis the edge of the door.
