Abstract
A latch keeper is mounted to a keeper housing in such a manner that a first portion of the latch keeper engages a latch hook on one side of a housing wall, and a second portion of the latch keeper is disposed on an opposite side of the housing wall. When the latch hook and the latch keeper are interengaged and a force is applied, the latch keeper imparts a moment force against the keeper housing.
