Abstract
A hatch or door system for closing an opening in a surrounding structure has a panel assembly having a metal frame enclosing a composite material panel. An operating mechanism is operative in a first stage to hold the panel assembly in the closed position. In a second stage, a discrete-to-continuous latching mechanism of the operating mechanism seals the frame within the opening.
