A door-locking mechanism for locking a door of a cabinet with respect to a main body of said cabinet, the door-locking mechanism comprising:
- a supporting component being operatively mountable onto the door;
- a driving component being operatively moveable with respect to the supporting component between at least first and second configurations;
- at least one transmission component being operatively moveable with respect to the supporting component between drawn-in and drawn-out configurations;
- and
- at least one locking rod being operatively connectable to the at least one transmission component and being movable between disengaged and engaged configurations with respect to a corresponding catch-rod of the cabinet, in response to the at least one transmission component being operated between the drawn-in and drawn-out configurations respectively, via an operation of the driving component from the first to the second configuration;
- wherein the door-locking mechanism includes at least one lock, and wherein the supporting component comprises at least one corresponding orifice being positioned, shaped and sized for receiving therethrough said at least one lock;
- wherein each covering component comprises at least one corresponding orifice being positioned, shaped and sized for receiving therethrough at least one lock;
- wherein said at least one lock includes a bolt being positioned, shaped and sized for preventing opposite transmission components of the door-locking mechanism from moving with respect to one another, so as to maintain the at least one locking rod in an engaged configuration with the catch-rod when the at least one lock is operated in a locking mode;
- and wherein the bolt is configured to allow said opposite transmission components to be drawn-in towards one another, so as to allow the at least one locking rod to be in a disengaged configuration with respect to the catch-rod when the at least one lock is operated in an unlocked mode;
- wherein each transmission component has at least one abutment component for abutting against a corresponding distal end of the bolt when the at least one lock is operated in a locking mode;
- wherein a corresponding abutment component of one transmission component is configured for travelling within a corresponding track defined in the other transmission component wherein the door-locking mechanism comprises at least one fastener used for operatively connecting the bolt to the at least one lock, in order to allow a corresponding rotation of bolt when the at least one lock is operated between locking and unlocked modes;
- wherein the at least one lock is selected from the group consisting of a lower lock, an upper lock, and a pair of both lower and upper locks;
- and wherein the supporting component comprises at least one orifice being positioned, shaped and sized for receiving therethrough each lock of the door-locking mechanism.
