Abstract: A multioperational latch is disclosed, in the preferred form, as including a member pivotally mounting a latch member to the inside surface of a door and a member mounted in a stationary position with respect to the door frame which receives and removably captures an enlarged end of the latch member. Therefore, the latch can be placed in a first, privacy position to prevent the door from being moved from its closed position, in a second, latch position where the enlarged end of the latch member is captured within the receiving member to hold the door in its open position, and in a third, inoperative position allowing the door to be freely moved either to or from its open or closed position.
