Abstract
A handle assembly may include a base, a handle rotably coupled to the base via a hinge, the handle comprising a lock integral to the handle and mechanically coupled to a remainder of the handle via a spring having a spring force that biases the lock in a locked position relative to the handle. The base may include a mechanical retention feature for receiving and mechanically retaining an information handling resource. The base may also include one or more features configured to, as the handle is translated into a closed position relative to the base, mechanically engage with the lock to overcome the spring force that biases the lock in a locked position and allows the lock to return to the locked position in order to maintain the handle in the closed position.
