An electrical transformer having an integral cabinet with an apparatus for latching and locking the doors of the cabinet. The apparatus is comprised of a three point latch system. The first and second latch points are vertical latch rods which engage sills in the cabinet. The third latch point is a latch plate which rotates with a shaft extending through the first door and to which a handle is attached. In the secured position, the latch plate rotates behind a flange extending from an interior wall, thereby preventing the door from being pulled open. The internal wall divides the cabinet into low and high voltage compartments and forms a structural portion of the cabinet. A bolt extends through the first door, the second door, the latch plate and the flange, thereby preventing the doors from being pulled open and preventing rotation of the handle. A cylinder attached to the first door surrounds the head of the bolt and prevents access thereto. The shackle of a padlock ends through the handle and the cylinder, thereby preventing rotation of the handle and further restricting access to the bolt.
