Storage compartment security system

A security system of a storage compartment for securing first and second entryway doors of the storage compartment to prevent access to a compartment interior comprising:

• a latch assembly including a primary and a secondary latch assembly;
• said primary latch assembly carried by said first door for latching said first door in a closed position with said storage compartment;
• said primary latch assembly being disposed entirely on an interior side of said first door within said compartment interior
• said secondary latch assembly being carded by said second door for latching said second door in a closed position with said storage compartment;
• said secondary latch assembly being disposed entirely on an interior side of said second door within said compartment interior;
• a plurality of reciprocating latch elements included in said latch assemblies for latching said first and second doors with top and bottom portions of said storage compartment;
• a horizontal reciprocating latch element included in said primary latch assembly for controlling said secondary latch assembly between latching and unlatching said second door;
• a primary latch actuator included in said primary latch assembly said primary latch actuator being connected to certain of said latch elements for moving said certain latch elements to latch said first door with said storage comportment said primary latch actuator further acting to actuate said secondary latch assembly;
• a secondary latch actuator included in said secondary latch assembly, said secondary latch actuator being controlled by said horizontal reciprocating latch element to position selected ones of said secondary reciprocating latch elements to latch said second door with said storage compartment and
• said primary latch actuator comprises a rack pinion mechanism carried by said first door and having a pinion meshing with a plurality of toothed racks;
• said operator engaging and rotating said pinion drives said racks;
• said racks being connected to said main latch elements so that when said pinion is rotated by said operator said main latch elements latch said first door to said storage compartment and actuate said secondary latch assembly;
• and
• a removable manually operable operator for operating said primary latch actuator on said interior side of said door;
• whereby access to said compartment interior is prevented when said primary latch assembly and said secondary latch assembly are operated to latch said first and second doors ether and with said storage compartment.
