ABSTRACT:
The latch housing is made from a sheet of metal cut and bent to form a back wall and top and bottom and side walls which extend forwardly therefrom. The side walls diverge from each other so that the forward edges of the side walls are spaced apart a distance greater than the width of the opening in the door. The side walls are movable toward one another between the top and bottom walls to enable insertion of the housing into the opening. When mounted, the side walls extend between the top and bottom walls with their bottom edges overlying the upper surface of the bottom wall to conceal from view the space between the side walls and the bottom wall.
