- 15 - ABSTRACT A one-piece, slam-type latch for snap-in installation in an orifice of a door is provided for maintaining the door in a closed position relative to a door frame having an extending keeper means. The latch includes a first portion having a generally rectan- gular configuration, and a second portion extending normally outward from the first portion for insertion through the orifice. One end of the second portion is in integral attachment with one side of the first portion. The other end of the second portion is pro- vided with at least one indentation for interlocking engagement with the keeper means. A leaf spring is integrally attached to the second portion and extends angularly from the second portion toward the first portion. The latch is further provided with a third portion in integral engagement with the first and second portions. The third portion extends planarly outward from the first portion. The third portion has an auriculate recess provided with a first lobe extending inwardly toward the first portion and a second lobe extending planarly opposite the first lobe to define a thin-walled section of the third portion. The thin-walled section of the third por- tion is sufficiently pliable so that the third por- tion may be deformed.
