ABSTRACT:
A flush-mounted latching device is provided for two-sided operation of a door. A spring-loaded cam engages a corresponding roller bearing mounted adjacent to the door to prevent opening when the latch is in a locked condition. Touch-operated push-buttons provided on either side of the door may be actuated to release the latch and allow the door to spring open. A push-button mounted flush with the interior surface of the door releases the latch immediately upon depression. A push-button mounted substantially flush with the exterior surface of the door releases the latch when depressed and then released. From either side, the door opens in a direction corresponding to the movement of an operator's finger upon actuating the corresponding push-button.
