ABSTRACT:
A pedestal enclosure for electronic components is provided. The pedestal enclosure includes a base section and a cover engageable with the base section. A lock mechanism is arranged on the cover. The lock mechanism includes a latch supported in a lock housing for movement between locked and unlocked positions and a rotator rotatably supported by the lock housing such that rotation of the rotator moves the latch between the locked and unlocked positions. The rotator extends through the lock housing and has a head arranged outside a first side of the housing and a shaft end arranged outside a second side of the lock housing. A removable retaining device is arranged on the shaft end outside the second side of the lock housing. A lock receptacle is supported by the base section for receiving the lock mechanism when the cover is engaged with the base section. The lock receptacle includes a catch that engages the latch when the latch is in the locked position and prevents disengagement of the cover from the base section. The lock receptacle defines a pocket including surfaces for supporting the front, rear and opposing lateral sides and the lower edge of the lock housing.
