Abstract
A door for an outdoor cabinet such as those used in telephony or CATV systems. The door has a first gasketed section to provide a first area of the cabinet with an airtight seal for protecting components housed therein from the outside environment. This first section of the door also includes a multi-point compression latch. The door has a second ungasketed section which ventilates gases around its unsealed perimeter from a second area of the cabinet housing batteries. This second section of the door includes a slam latch that is automatically engaged when the compression latch on the first door section is engaged.
