Abstract
A latch is disclosed incorporating features allowing complete actuation i.e., engagement and disengagement of a latching hook on the side of the container from a latch handle on the face of the container thus allowing actuation of the latch hook even when the latch hook is itself inaccessible. The latch also features variability in the stroke of the hook and a design allowing its construction from plastic material.
