The latching mechanism includes a latch mountable within the compartment and a striker plate mountable on the door. The latch includes a latching element and with the striker plate has catch means to engage the latching element upon pushing of the door to a closed position to thereby latch the door closed. The latch includes spring means which are effective to disengage the latching element upon pushing on the door after the door has first been closed and latched.
