Abstract: A latching system that is comprised of a detent assembly and a securing plate. The detent assembly is comprised of a detent and a biasing member, which biases the detent in a first direction. The securing plate includes a curvilinear portion. The curvilinear portion is comprised of a detent traveling portion and a detent securing portion, which is located proximate to the detent traveling portion. The detent traveling portion is adapted to engage the detent and encourage the detent towards a second direction, which is approximately opposite of the first direction, upon engagement with the detent. When the detent is in contact with the detent securing portion, the detent assembly is reversibly secured relative to the securing plate.

Abstract: The improved storage cabinet incorporates several improvements. These improvements include cabinet doors with an interior space; adjustable door hinges that allow the assembler or end user to adjust the fit and movement of the doors; door hinges located on the periphery of the doors that are adapted so the doors do not require any clearance to open; a shelf/drawer mounting system that allows a shelf or drawer to be mounted directly to the side wall of the cabinet without the necessity of a mounting bracket; and a shelf/drawer mounting system that allows for the easy interchange of drawers and shelves both during production and by an end-user. These features, can be implemented as individual improvements of a cabinet or can be implemented as combinations or subcombinations of improvements of a cabinet.
