A one-piece catch (10) for installation on a panel (80) having a front side and a rear side, for holding a folding handle (100) in a folded position to the front side of the panel (80), or an other article in place, including a panel attachment (20) for installing the one-piece catch (10) on the panel (80) by inserting the one piece-catch (10) through the panel (80) and rotating the catch (10) ninety degrees to seat the catch (10) in position, and a releasable pawl (50) formed integral to the panel attachment (20) having a head section with a camming surface (56) adapted to contact the handle (100) as the handle (100) is folded to the folded position, the handle (100) moving the pawl (50) back to force the pawl (50) away from the handle as the handle is latched to the one-piece catch, the pawl (50) springing forward as the handle (100) passes over the camming surface (56) to seat the handle under the pawl, the handle releasable from the pawl by the application of pressure to the pawl away from the handle. Crochet monobloc (10) destiné à être installé sur un panneau (80) ayant une face avant et une face arrière, de façon à maintenir une poignée repliable (100) en position fermée sur la face avant dudit panneau (80) ou à maintenir en place un autre article. Le crochet comprend un dispositif de fixation (20) de panneau, qui permet de fixer le crochet (10) sur le panneau (80) en l'y insérant et en le faisant tourner de 90 DEG de façon à le mettre en position; et un cliquet libérable (50), formé en monobloc avec le dispositif de fixation (20), qui comporte une partie tête présentant une surface de came (56) conçue pour entrer en contact avec la poignée (100) lorsque celle-ci est en position repliée. La poignée (100) déplace le cliquet (50) vers l'arrière de façon à le forcer à s'écarter de la poignée quand celle-ci est verrouillée avec le crochet, tandis que le cliquet revient vers l'avant quand la poignée (100), passant sur la surface de came, revient sous le cliquet. On peut dégager la poignée du cliquet en appliquant sur ce dernier une pression l'éloignant de la poignée.
