ABSTRACT:
A computer enclosure has a front bezel with two doors and a two-way lock mechanism controlling the locking of the doors. The swinging ends of the doors meet at a central portion of the bezel where the lock mechanism is located. The lock mechanism includes a guide plate located at the rear of the bezel having two guide channels that receive the bolts of the lock mechanism. A lock extends through the guide plate, and its rotatable barrel attaches to a cam plate at the rear of the bezel. The cam plate has two slots, each engaging one of the bolts. The bolts slide between withdrawn and extended positions in response to urging forces from the edges of the slots as the cam plate rotates in response to the turning of the lock, thus locking and unlocking the doors.
