Abstract
A latch that can be unlatched with a force exerted on a front handle of a drawer or other enclosure. The latch includes an end cap that interacts with a cam surface of a body and, upon doing so, disengages the catch from an opening on a strike plate or cabinet body. When the catch is disengaged, the latch can allow for the opening of the enclosure. The latch therefore allows for a simple forward motion to open and close the latch, and further allows the latch to be used with many different enclosures.
