Abstract
The present invention relates to a latch for securing together a panel to a keeper thus permitting opening and closing of a portion of the panel while allowing the remaining portion of the panel to remain closed. When the latch is unlatched from a keeper, a user can refasten the panel by lowering the panel until the main pawl and the keeper are fastened together by the action of the keeper on the pawl of the latch. The latch also provides for the opening and closing of a portion of one of the panels while allowing the remaining portion of that panel to remain closed.
