providing a housing including a side wall at least partially defining an interior sized and shaped to receive the BNA, the housing further including an engagement bracket extending between a first end coupled to the side wall and a second, free end;
moving a door assembly from an open position to a closed position, the door assembly being hingedly coupled to the housing and including a door panel and a lock frame coupled to the door panel, the lock frame including a side wall and a projection provided on the side wall and extending outward therefrom towards the engagement bracket when the door assembly is in the closed position; and
moving a prong latch into engagement with the engagement bracket to lock the door assembly in the closed position, the prong latch being moveably coupled to the lock frame, wherein the engagement bracket is resiliently flexible and, in response to an opening force being applied on the door panel when the door assembly is locked in the closed position, the engagement bracket is configured to move into contact with the projection to enhance a structural integrity of the enclosure assembly.
