A storage bin assembly for vehicles includes a bin and a door. The door includes a latch-engaging surface that moves from a rest position when the door is opened. A latch pawl engages the latch-engaging surface of the door to prevent movement of the door to the open position when the latch pawl is in an engaged position. A push button actuator is disposed in a center portion of a dashboard structure. The push button actuator includes a cam surface that slidably engages the latch pawl and causes the latch pawl to move from the engaged position to a disengaged position to thereby unlatch the door.
