Abstract

A slide fastener secures a door of an electrical cabinet to the cabinet frame. The slide fastener releaseably retains the door against the frame when the door and the frame are latched together. The slide fastener includes a door assembly secured to the door and slide keepers attached to the frame. The door assembly includes a lever assembly and a slide assembly. The lever assembly is rotatable between an open position and a closed position and engages and slides the slide assembly in response to rotation of the lever assembly. The slide assembly engages the slide keepers as the lever assembly is rotated.
