Abstract
A locking system for a dispenser having a cover and a back plate, the cover being hingedly connected at one end to the back plate and carrying a latch plate at the opposed end thereof. An elongate locking bar is slidably carried on the back plate for movement toward and away from engagement with the latch plate. This movement is achieved by provision of an engagement member of the back plate slidably movable into contact with the locking bar and a key similarly movable into the contact with the engagement member. To that end, the engagement member includes opposed resilient legs, the distal ends of which normally rest on the bottom of the interior of the cover.The key is provided with a divider which, when engaged with the resilient legs spreading them apart and enables shoulders on the key to contact the engagement member and move the locking bar upwardly to disengage the latch.
