ABSTRACT:
A loop-striker for use with a door latch of the type having (1) a bell-shaped mouth for receiving a complimentary wedge-shaped crossbar and a leading leg of the striker, and (2) a rotateable fork-bolt having a throat that traps the leading leg when the fork-bolt is in the latched condition. The striker is constructed such that the wedge-shaped crossbar can pivot about its leading leg so as to be self-aligning with respect to said mouth.
