A latching mechanism (1) for a drawer or door has handle (2) which is pulled towards a user when the latching mechanism is being opened and pushed away from the user when the latching mechanism is being closed. A latch (3) is moveable between an extended orientation and a retracted orientation; an oblique surface (4) on the latch (3) contacts an actuator (5) when handle (2) is pulled towards the user, forcing the latch (3) towards the retracted orientation; biasing means biases latch (3) towards the extended orientation; and link (7) connects handle (2) to the other parts of the latching mechanism. When installed, link (7) is installed over an edge of a drawer or door so that the handle is located on the front side of the door or drawer and the latch, actuator and biasing means are located on the rear side of the door or drawer.
