Abstract: An infant safety latch mechanism designed to be mounted within the interior of an enclosure for preventing children from gaining access into the enclosure. Specifically, the latch mechanism requires an adult size hand to operate so that the enclosure cannot be opened by a young child or infant. The latch mechanism can be mounted to a wide variety of enclosures, including drawers, cabinets with sliding doors and cabinets with swinging door. The latch mechanism includes a cleat with a pair of first latching elements mounted to a first part of the enclosure, a mounting guide secured to a second part of the enclosure, and a clip with a pair of second latching elements slidably mounted to the mounting guide. The second latching elements have release arms for moving the latching elements of the clip from a latched position to an unlatched position.
