ABSTRACT:
A door latch assembly for holding a door in a closed position comprises a latch housing for mounting in the side of a door frame, and a latch pin for mounting on the corresponding side of a door to project towards the latch housing. The latch housing has an opening for receiving the latch pin as the door is closed, and a latch member in the housing is movable between a first, latching position in which the latch pin is held in the housing and a second, release position in which the latch pin is released and pushed out of the housing in a door opening direction. An actuator projects out of the housing for moving the latch member into the second position. The latch member is biased towards its latching position.
