A yoke, normally biased towards a locking position and rotatable to an unlocked position is pivotally mounted upon the housing upon a second axis and mounts a latch pin adapted for interlocking registry with the lock aperture when the latch is in locking position.

A manually operated control is mounted upon the housing and connected to the latch bar for retracting it.
