Abstract
The invention relates to a mounting clip used to secure a lock housing within an opening in a storage compartment. The mounting clip is provided with an arcuate clamp to secure the clip to the housing. The clip may be mounted on the housing at a point outside of the compartment, prior to installation of the housing into the opening in the compartment wall. The housing may include a channel or other elements to firmly secure the clip against accidental displacement from the housing during installation or subsequent operation. The clip includes a spring like arm that may be compressed to abut closely against the housing during insertion into the wall of the compartment. After installation is complete, the spring like arm extends away from the housing. When the arm is extended, it presses firmly against the wall of the compartment to prevent removal of the lock housing from the compartment wall.
