Abstract
Disclosed is an equipment enclosure allowing service personnel easy access to equipment housed within the enclosure. The enclosure employs two case portions, each provided with a respective plurality of mating catch mechanisms for holding the two case portions together. The catch mechanisms allow the case portions to be joined and locked together by a simple, one movement action. The enclosure is opened by the cocking of each of the one or more individual catch mechanisms which then remain cocked, thereby allowing the removal of the case portions.
