An apparatus for locking a case having a first part and a second part that close together along a first edge of the first part and a second edge of the second part, comprising a housing portion mountable in the first part adjacent the first edge, a latch portion positioned in the housing portion and capable of slidable movement within the housing portion from a first position to a second position displaced from the first position, and a biasing spring positioned between and adapted with respect to the housing portion and the latch portion to bias the latch portion into the first position. A catch is connected to the second part of the case and extends in a direction from the second edge of the second part toward the first edge of the first part. Further, the catch is positioned, aligned, and adapted with respect to the housing portion and the latch portion in the first part so that when the first edge of the first part and the second edge of the second part are closed together and the latch portion is in the first position, the latch portion engages the catch.
