Abstract
A toe-operated, concealed latching mechanism for the front door or doors of storage cabinets, as commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms, has its operative member obscurely located in the kick-space beneath the cabinet at the floor. The arrangement of parts serves to virtually preclude entry to the cabinet interior as by curious infants or youngsters.
