The traditional way to install a cylinder lock on a set of double doors is to purchase and install a separate elbow catch to keep the second door from opening. Opening the doors then becomes a multi-step process: unlock and open the lock-side door, reach into the cabinet, release the elbow catch and open the second door. The CompX Double Door Latch, however, simplifies the process by automatically engaging when the lock-side door is closed, and automatically disengaging when the lock-side door is opened. Since there is no need to reach inside the cabinet to release an elbow catch, it becomes easier to access secured goods, and you are more likely to keep sensitive cabinets locked. When closing the doors, you can close the left door first, the right door first, or both at the same time—it makes no difference.

No need to reach inside cabinet to release elbow catch.
