ABSTRACT:
A storage locker is shown having a frame supporting a hinged door. A latch plate is fixed to the inner frame for latching the door and enabling it to be locked. The latch plate includes a security finger which is notched, and which engages a rim of the door when the door is closed. The security finger serves to hold the door closed during conventional methods of unauthorized entry. The latch plate also includes a pair of stiffening legs which make it more difficult to bend, thus, making unauthorized entry more difficult. The latch plate also includes a portion for supporting a padlock tab. The portion supporting the padlock tab is yieldable such that force applied to the padlock tab will bend the support portion without allowing the more critical latch plate to bend.
