Abstract
A latch assembly for aligning the holes in a panel and a frame such as those used in aircraft doors. The assembly includes a hook for engagement with a striker to retain the panel and a sliding hook mechanism to align the holes. The sliding hook mechanism is operated by a camming means to urge the hook toward or away from the striker to bring the holes into alignment thereby preventing damage to the fastener and freeing both hands of a workman to secure or release the fasteners.
