ABSTRACT:
A door with self-retaining knob for a storage compartment is provided. The storage compartment has a lower wall, an upper wall opposite the lower wall and side walls disposed between the upper and lower walls. A pivotal door is integral with the upper wall, and the door includes an inner panel and an outer panel having an aperture. A knob is disposed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel. The knob has a front wall with side walls extending from an edge of the front wall and a flange extending radially from an edge of the side wall. A fastening means is used for securing the inner door panel to the outer door panel, so that the knob flange is fixedly retained between the outer door panel and the inner door panel and the front wall and side wall of the knob extend through the aperture in the outer door panel.
