ABSTRACT:
A latch housing of molded plastic has a flanged surface that makes surface contact around a rectangular cutout in a dimpled or recessed area of a metal panel flush with the panel surface. Four extended retainers having a lightly tapered bottom edge retain the housing in the panel. A latch having a stepwise tapered end resides within the housing with the end passing through a vertical slot in a rear wall of the housing. A spring is connected between an integral hook on the housing and the forward end of the latch to keep the latch normally in the locked position. An opening in the housing allows a finger to engage the latch and release it from the locked position.
