ABSTRACT:
A one-piece plastic drawer safety latch for preventing unwanted opening of drawers or the like includes a mounting section mounted to an exterior of the drawer and a latching section which normally projects forwardly toward a front of the drawer and outwardly at an angle relative thereto. The latching section includes a forward facing step which abuts against an opposing surface of a cabinet front wall to prevent complete opening of the drawer. The latching section includes a finger tab which projects out of the cabinet housing when the drawer is partially open such that a user can manually press the latch section inwardly to disengage the step from the cabinet frame and permit complete opening of the drawer.
