Abstract
A damper assembly includes a frame, a damper blade coupled to the frame and configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, and a latch configured to be secured within the damper assembly via a clip portion of the latch. The latch is configured to deform to facilitate transitioning of the damper blade from the open position to the closed position and then to expand to capture and retain the damper blade in the closed position.
