Abstract
In a door latch system having a metal latching member engageable with a metal striker, a noise suppressor of resilient material is dovetail jointed to the latching member, in such a position thereon that the striker makes noiseless contact therewith upon closure of the door. The latch further comprises a stop of resilient material arranged for contact with the striker in a fully latched position, and a guide of relatively rigid, wear-resistant material extending along a striker guideway in the main body of the latch.
