The trigger includes a recess that receives a tool to facilitate pivoting the trigger from its first position to its second position. The latch may include a drive and the trigger includes a socket adapted to receive a key that facilitates moving a drive to clear the handle and disengaging the trigger with the clevis to open the handle.
