A latch assembly is disclosed which is operative to retain a movable closure member in position with respect to an adjacent fixed wall member, and includes a handle member pivotally mounted to the closure member with an arm extending generally along the handle member beyond the pivotal mounting thereof for engaging the fixed wall member at one end thereof. An adjustable member is mounted on the end of the arm for adjusting the engagement of the end of the arm with respect to the wall member. An overcenter tension member is pivotally connected at one end to the closure member and the other end to the arm for biasing the arm into tight engagement with the fixed wall member when the latch is in the latched position.
