Abstract
A lockable enclosure includes a housing, a locking mechanism, and an access door assembled with the housing and movable between a closed position and an open position. When the access door is in the closed position, at least one latch member is movable between an interlocking position in interlocking engagement with a staple portion at a location spaced apart from adjoining perimeter edges of the housing and the access door, and a releasing position disengaged from the staple portion to permit movement of the access door from the closed position to the open position. The locking mechanism is operable between a locking condition in which the at least one latch member is secured in the interlocking position, and an unlocked condition in which the at least one latch member is movable to the releasing position.
