More Information
Summary:A recessed three-point latching mechanism and method for a storage locker and a locker incorporating the same utilizes a dead bolt system employing a pair of rotary actuated lock rods for engaging the top and bottom of the locker door opening in conjunction with a center latch engaging the door jamb. A lever, which may include a finger grip, is utilized for simultaneously unlocking the lock rods and unlatching the center latch and is accessible within a recessed cup for safety and security. The latching mechanism and method may also include a cam to hold the latching mechanism in a door open position until the door is closed to prevent damage to the locker face by the otherwise extended lock rods. The latching mechanism and method is compatible with either padlocks or a built-in lock secured within the recessed cup.
