SLIDING PANEL LATCHING METHODS
Methods for releasably latching a sliding panel can include providing a striker coupled to a structure such that a sliding panel is movable relative to the striker, and providing a latch coupled to the sliding panel. The latch can be rotatable and include a striker interface to engage the striker, and the striker interface can at least partially define a striker opening to receive the striker. The latch can be rotatable to a latch position and to a receive/release position. The methods can include moving the sliding panel toward the striker with the latch in the receive/release position until the striker engages the striker interface of the latch causing the latch to move to the latch position where the striker is secured for striker opening of the latch, and causing the latch to move to the receive/release position facilitating release of the striker from the striker opening of the latch.
