The cam (3) or casing (1) has a follower (18) which acts in a groove with a ramped bottom dividing the groove into two portions and preventing the cam from being totated from the second back to the first portion. When the cam is in a first position (x) with the follower in the first portion the latching means are held open and are inoperative for latching, the key is then inserted to move the can so the follower is in the second portion, wherein the cam is movable between positions (y) and (z) in which the latching means open and close respectively and wherein the key is removable in position (z).
