1. Laboratory cabinet device (1) for storing laboratory samples, comprising a chamber housing (2) with a front side (3) and a chamber opening (4) of the front side through which the chamber interior (5) is accessible, a chamber door (6) for closing the chamber opening in a closed position of the chamber door,
closure device (10, 7a, 7b) for holding the chamber door at the front side in the closed position by a magnetic holding force, wherein the closure device comprises an actuating element (10), a first holding element (7a) and a second holding element (7b),
wherein the first holding element (7a) is fixed to the actuating element (10) and the second holding element (7b) is fixed to the front side (3), and the actuating element (10) is pivotally mounted to the chamber door (6) so that the actuating element (10) is pivotally movable between a first open pivoted position (P1), in which the first and second holding elements cannot exert magnetic holding force on each other, and a second, closed pivoted position (P2), in which the first and second holding elements can exert the magnetic holding force on each other,
wherein the actuating element (10) extends parallel to the main plane (6a) of the chamber door (6) and has an end which is formed as a grip tab portion (11) which in the second pivoted position projects beyond the edge (6b) of the chamber door (6) so that in the closed position of the chamber door and in the second pivoted position (P2) of the actuating element (10) the magnetic holding force of the closure device (10, 7a, 7b) can be overcome by the user both by rotating the actuating element (10) from the second pivot position (P2) to the first pivot position (P1) and by pulling the chamber door by means of the grip tab portion (11) in a direction (A) perpendicular to the main plane (6a) of the chamber door (6).
