Abstract
A one-piece clip is provided for temporarily locking a cabinet door in a closed position. The clip is fabricated from a stiff, resilient material such as metal or plastic, wire or ribbon and is formed with a pair of reversing relatively deep U-shaped bends. The free end of one bend is shorter than the free end of the other bend and is also shorter than the cross-piece of the other bend whereby the clip, when mounted over the door jamb of the cabinet, is capable of limited lateral movement to allow the door first to swing clear for opening and installation and to be locked by laterally shifting the clip so that the outer U-shaped end engages the edge of the door in the closed position. The clip may be used for keeping the door shut during shipment of newly assembled cabinets, for example.
