A latch mechanism for a glove compartment is provided. The latch mechanism includes a plate mountable to the door of the glove compartment. A lever and a hook are interlocked to each other and pivotably mounted to the plate. The lever is movable between a closed position and an opened position such that movement of the lever from the closed position to the opened position pivots the hook and consequently unlatches the latch mechanism for the glove compartment. When the lever is in the closed position, the hook may be pivoted independent of the lever.

A latch mechanism for a compartment, comprising: a plate mountable to a door of the compartment, the plate having first and second opposing sides, and an opening extending therebetween; a lever pivotably mounted to the plate for actuating the latch mechanism, the lever pivotable between a first latch opening position and a second latch closing position; means for biasing the lever toward the latch closing position; a hook pivotably mounted to the panel, the hook pivotable between a latched position and an unlatched position; means for interlocking the lever and the hook such that the hook is pivotable from the latched to the unlatched position in response to the pivoting of the lever from the latch closing position to the latch opening position, and such that the hook pivots independent of the lever when the lever is in the latch closing position, wherein the means for interlocking the lever and the hook includes a key member extending laterally from the lever, the key member receivable within the key receipt cavity in the hook; means for biasing the hook toward the latched position; a plurality of flanges extending from the first side of the plate, each flange including an opening extending therethrough, each opening in axial alignment with the other openings; a pin extending through each opening in each flange and through the hook; and first and second ears extending from the lever, each ear including an opening for receiving the pin therethrough thereby allowing pivotable movement of the lever about the pin.
