PCT No. PCT/EP93/03667 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 11, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 11, 1995 PCT Filed Dec. 22, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/15050 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 7, 1994A locking device is used for doors of cabinets or cupboards and, more particularly, for doors of modular cupboard systems. In order to create an operationally reliable, inexpensive locking device which is suitable for narrow counterstops and which permits an installation independently of the fixing side, as well as an inexpensive conversion when the fixing side is changed, the locking device is given a bipartite construction with a handle positioned in the vicinity of a door plate and a bolt mechanism operable by a tumbler. The device has a first door plate area receiving the handle and a second door plate area. A locking movement, initiated by the handle, is subject to a deflection, preferably of approximately 90 DEG , in the direction of a counterstop and a closed or open position of at least one locking element in a cabinet or cupboard-side receptacle is obtained.
