Abstract

An enclosure lock comprises at least one keeper 2 and latch 5. The keeper is mounted to an interior of the enclosure body 18. The latch is mounted to the interior side of the enclosure door 1. The keeper includes spaced projecting lugs 3 having an aperture 4 therebetween. The latch includes a mount 6 having a projecting lug 7 and a slidable bolt 8. The bolt includes spaced projecting lugs 12 having an aperture 13 therebetween. The bolt can slide between door locking and unlocking positions. When the door is closed, the mount lug 7 is positioned within the keeper aperture 4. The bolt lugs 12 can then be slid to the locking position behind the keeper lugs 3 to lock the door to the enclosure body. The locking arrangement prevents the door from being opened by rotating the door or by laterally sliding the door.
