A latch assembly for mounting in an opening of a door and for releasably latching the door to a door frame. The latch assembly includes a housing that is mountable to the opening of the door. A lever is rotatably coupled to the housing between a deployed position and a retracted position. A lock plug is rotatably mounted within the housing, the lock plug having one end for receiving either a tool or key, and an opposite end having an engagement surface. A latching member is movably coupled to the housing, and is engaged with both the rotatable lock plug and the lever in the retracted position of the lever. A torsion spring biases the lock plug back to a starting position after the lock plug is rotated from the starting position using the tool or the key.

A latch for coupling of a first component to a second component, the latch having a base body which includes a first bearing, a second bearing and a third bearing, the latch having a lever which is mounted pivotably on the first bearing about a first pivot axis between a locking position and an unlocking position, the latch having a locking which is mounted pivotably on the second bearing and which includes a spring-loaded locking part, which locking part rests on the lever in order to transmit a predetermined braking force to the lever in the locking position of the lever, the latch further including a release lever which is mounted movably on the third bearing between a blocking position for blocking the locking in the locking position and a release position for releasing the locking from the locking position.
