ABSTRACT:
An edgemounted latch mechanism that is tamper-resistant is provided. An internal locking mechanism is adapted to lock simultaneously both a locking arm and a catch assembly. The catch assembly is constantly forced against a keeper member to assure a constant seal of the door to its gasket or door frame. The mechanism has provision for insertion of an external lock such as a padlock in order to secure the handle with respect to the latch housing and with respect to the locking arm.
