A rotary latch closure comprising a housing with an actuating shaft which is mounted so as to be rotatable, but axially fixed therein. The rotary latch closure has, at its free end, a circumferential thread, at least one axially oriented flattened portion, and a rotary latch configured to be fitted to the free end of the shaft so as to be fixed with respect to rotation relative to it in at least one rotational position and which is axially supported on a nut which can be screwed onto the circumferential thread. The nut is enclosed by a cage forming a laterally accessible space that is bounded by two walls, each of the two walls having a prismatic opening, wherein the opening allows the shaft to be slid through in a torsionally rigid manner.

The present invention provides a flush pull handle affixable to a door. The handle includes a mounting assembly including a top portion, bottom portion, first side portion and a second side portion, the mounting assembly affixable to the door via at least one fastener. The mounting assembly includes at least one mounting flange. The handle further includes a pull assembly including an assembly interior portion having a first interior side and a second interior side, the first interior side having at least one flange mount opening. The pull assembly includes an assembly face having a handle flush with the pull assembly extruding across at least a portion of the assembly interior portion for allowing a pulling action on the door handle. Such that, the pull assembly mounts in the mounting assembly based at least on the mounting flange of the mounting assembly extruding through the flange mount opening.

A latch that is waterproof or water-resistant so as to resist the entry of water through the latch. The latch can be a slam latch having a pawl with a shaft. A sealing element, for example, a collar and/or an O-ring, can be placed around the shaft of the pawl to resist water from entering through the latch. The pawl can also enclose the cavity in which the latch handle is maintained so water cannot enter through the cavity. Other measures, such as a gasket and selective welding, can also be implemented to improve the water-resistance of the latch.

A latch system that includes a paddle button assembly having a button that is movable between a home position and an actuation position, a latch assembly that includes a striker assembly and a hook assembly, and a cable that extends between the paddle button assembly and the latch assembly. Movement of the button from the home position to the actuation position moves the cable, thereby disengaging the hook assembly and the striker assembly.

A slam type locking mechanism is described. The locking mechanism allows a storage container with the locking mechanism to be slammed shut in a single motion. The operator may slam the lid or door to the container using a single hand that is only pressing or pushing the lid or door closed. The slam type locking mechanism includes a lock having a lock housing, a handle, and a spring loading mechanism. The handle is rotatably engaged to the spring loading mechanism. The rods are in a rotational engagement with the lock, wherein the rods have an offset that interacts with a striker on the container or lid in a locking relationship.
