Abstract
A draw pull latch for securing two members together comprises a keeper affixed to one of the members and a second one-piece part which is composed of three segments; i.e., a base segment, an intermediate segment, and a locking segment.

A secondary locking feature is provided by use of an angular catch member disposed between the one-piece part and the second member an…
