Abstract
A slide fastener for securing cabinet doors or enclosures for communications transmission and switching equipment is comprised of at least one locking slide bar operatively connected to a spring biased pivoting lever assembly which locks and unlocks the cabinet door by simultaneously engaging/disengaging the locking slide bar with a slide bar keeper secured to the cabinet door frame. The lever assembly may be secured in the locked or closed position by a cam operated catch that is releasable upon the application of force against a button that is integral with the housing of the slide fastener. An electrical grounding pad may be optionally provided to prevent damage or injury from static discharge.
