A bar lock includes one piece, preassembled latch modules. Each of the latch modules defines a rotatable shaft which supports a operating bar receiving socket at one end and a cam at the other. Each of the modules defines several locating elements which are used to locate and secure the preassembled module in place on a panel. The operating rod can be mechanically interlocked with the module to allow rapid and efficient assembly.
