Abstract
A panel closure apparatus has a panel () for closing against a strike jamb (). A locking element () is displaceable between a released position and a locked position in which contact surfaces () of the locking element and the panel prevent opening of the panel, and are configured so that force applied to open the panel does not generate a force to disengage the locking element. Locking element () has an input surface () deployed so as to be displaced by an actuating surface () of panel () during a closing motion of the panel from the open position to the closed position. Input surface () moves as a unit with locking element () so that displacement of the input surface by the closing motion of the panel displaces the locking element towards the locked position.
