ABSTRACT:
A locking arrangement for a cabinet, the cabinet having a top panel, a base panel, and at least one pivoting door panel, with the panels connected to one another to define an internal storage region, includes a cam-shaped projection formed on one of the hinge element and the corresponding side pane. The cam has first and second surfaces formed contiguous with the respective one of the hinge element and the corresponding side panel, and a retaining member formed on the other of the hinge element and the corresponding side panel. The retaining member has a recess formed therein. The cam-shaped projection and the retaining member frictionally cooperate with one another to maintain the door panel in the closed position with the cam-shaped projection engaged in the recess. The cam-shaped projection further maintains the door in an at least partially opened position when the cam-shaped projection is disengaged from the recess, in contact with the retaining member.
