ABSTRACT:
A door latch member (16) is slidably supported on a door (14) between a latched position in which the latch member (16) engages a door frame (12) to prevent the free swinging edge of the door (14) from moving with respect to the frame (12), and an unlatched position in which the latch member (16) is spaced apart from the frame (12) to allow the free swinging edge of the door (14) to move relative to the frame (12). The latch member (16) includes a hook (18) having a "U" shape extending outwardly therefrom in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the door (14), the hook (18) presenting a concave pocket facing the outer swinging edge of the door (14) for receiving a human forearm to move the latch member (16) from the latched position to the unlatched position.
