ABSTRACT:
A safety latch for latching a door of an enclosure to the enclosure includes a receiving member mounted to the enclosure and a latching member engageable with the receiving member, adapted to be mounted to the enclosure door. The receiving member includes a base portion for mounting to the enclosure and a receiving post-extending from the base portion. The receiving post has first and second diverging surfaces. The latching member has first and second generally symmetrical, opposingly oriented, spaced apart, biased latching elements. The latching elements are biased toward one another, and are configured for independent locking engagement with the receiving post when the receiving post is inserted into the latching member. Each of the latching elements includes a releasing member extending therefrom and operably connected thereto for releasing the latching member from locking engagement with the receiving post.
