A manually operable latch for a hinged pull-down member, comprising; a generally flat body having relatively rigid ways at the opposite ends thereof for attaching the latch to the pull-down member, a pair of flex arms, each having an end integrally attached to the body, a latch bar integrally attached to the respective opposite ends of the flex arms, a pair of rigid spars, each having an end integrally attached to the latch bar, a handle integrally attached to the respective opposite ends of the rigid spars whereby the flex arms are curled and the latch bar moves away from the body responsive to movement of the handle toward the body, and an elongated latch arm for retaining the latch arm on the pull-down member, said latch arm having its opposite ends integrally connected to the respective relatively rigid ways so that the latch arm is isolated from any torsional effects on the body produced by operation of the handle to curl the flex arms and move the latch bar away from the body.
