    摘要: A pet crate door latch with a vertically-reciprocating slider on the door and fixed tabs attached to a crate side panel adjacent to the door opening and forming open slots parallel to the panel. The slots can be vertical, inwardly-facing horizontal, or outwardly-facing horizontal. The slider has perpendicular or parallel edges that operate as slot edges. The perpendicular edges are slot edges for vertical slots and the parallel edges are slot edges for horizontal slots. There is a tab space below each slot edge. To engage the latch, the slider is raised until the tabs are aligned with the associated tab spaces. As the door is closing, the tabs fit through the tab spaces. When the door is closed, the slider is lowered until halted by a latch stop wherein the slot edge is transversely within the slot.
