  • Method of providing and installing a door latching structure
    Patent number: 5864936
    Abstract: A method of providing and installing a door latching structure for operatively interconnecting an upper latching structure carried by a door and a lower actuator structure carried by the door, the upper latching structure located outside the door, and comprising providing a longitudinally elongated link sized for reception within the door and to extend into proximity to the latching structure, and to the actuator structure, the link operatively connected to the actuator structure; and providing a laterally extending link attached to an upper end portion of the longitudinally elongated link, the laterally extending link connectible to the latching structure to transfer longitudinal movement of the longitudinal link effected by the actuator structure to the latching structure, for operating same.
