    Default Spring loaded latch

    Hi
    I'm working on a cabinet project with sliding doors and I can't for the life of me find the term to describe the spring-loaded latch I'm looking for.



    It's basically a spring loaded lever with a hook at one end and a pad for a thumb on the other. Put pressure on the thumb pad, and the hook disengages from the catch plate and the panels are able to slide apart.

    Anyone know the term for this type of latch or where to find one?

    It's called an elbow catch and any traditional hardware store will carry them
