An improved quick release glove box latch mechanism (10) includes a button (76) having at least one undercut (90) which can be disposed in register with one or more fingers (146) of a lever (120) to interlock the lever (120) to the button (76). The button (76) can be integrally molded to form the undercuts (90). An outer collar (270) can be integrally molded to a housing (70) of the latch mechanism (10) and can extend rearwardly from the housing (70). A locking collar (78) is mounted within the outer collar (270). The lever (120) pivots about a pivot pin (122) and is biased to a rest position by a torsion spring (124). A first end (128) of the torsion spring (124) is received in a small bore or slot (160) in the lever (120). A second end (130) of the torsion spring (124) is disposed in a small bore or slot (284) in the housing (70) in such a manner that the pivot pin (122) retains the second end (130) of the torsion spring (124) in the housing (70).
