Abstract:
1. A multi-door enclosure comprising: an enclosure housing; a primary door attached to the enclosure housing, the primary door having an actuator; a secondary door attached to the enclosure housing; an interlock member extending between the primary door and the secondary door, the interlock member including a holding section, the interlock member including an elongate rigid main body portion with a pair of slots through which fasteners mount the interlock member to the enclosure housing, the interlock member being a single component including the holding section, the elongate rigid main body portion, and the pair of slots for use in low-profile enclosures, the interlock member extending horizontally between the primary door and the secondary door; and a biasing member coupled to the interlock member; the actuator and the interlock member being configured such that, as the primary door closes, the actuator of the primary door contacts the interlock member to horizontally translate the interlock member towards the secondary door until the holding section engages the secondary door to prevent the secondary door from being opened; the secondary door being allowed to close when the primary door is both open and closed and opening the primary door biases the interlock member towards the primary door.
