In this answer I advised the OP to use what I called a 'toggle latch' or 'draw latch'. Do these things have a proper name?

I am not certain what you mean by a "technical term" for it. I would call it a corner hutch or a corner display hutch or maybe a corner bookcase.
Why corner? Because it is shaped to fit in a corner.
Why hutch? A hutch is sometimes something that sits on top of a bureau, table, desk, or other piece of flat-topped furniture. However, hutches can also be a free-standing shelved storage units with doors. The impression people have of "hutch" will vary by region.
Why bookcase? It's got books on it.
I can tell you also that I would not call it
- a cabinet: Cabinets usually have doors and are wall-hung or sit on the floor.
- a cupboard: Cupboards are usually wall-hung and contain dishwares or foodstuffs
- a curio cabinet: these usually have mirrored backs and glass doors
- a display case: see curio cabinet. These usually have at least glass doors.
It's officially called a conduit body, but is sometimes called an LB by tradesmen.
It's known as an "LB", because the outlet (or inlet I guess) is on the back (ell back). There are also "LR" (ell right), "LL" (ell left), "T" (tee), "C" (cee), and "SLB" (service ell back) type conduit bodies available.
SLB not pictured.

In the U.S. the item you refer to is most often called a draw catch. There are other names, depending on manufacturer and purpose, but I worked 19 years in commercial and residential hardware supply and we always called that a draw catch.
