Abstract

A two-piece fastening assembly, for cabinet doors and other relatively movable objects, is disclosed. One piece comprises a housing, having attachments on its outside to fix it to one of the movable objects, with a rotatable, reciprocating catch positioned inside having projections which alternately engage fixed sockets in the housing. The other piece is a keeper that is attached to the other movable object that contacts the reciprocating catch and allows closing and opening of the two parts.
