Abstract
A door latch mechanism (15) having a rain deflector (17) for preventing passage of rain water and the like past the latch mechanism into the space (18) selectively closed by the door (13) carrying a portion of the latch mechanism. The deflector includes projections (32, 33) fitted into sockets (23, 24) of the frame (11) and includes a base wall portion (25) having a slot (34) embracing the strike (37) of the latch mechanism when installed therein.
