Abstract
The present invention provides for electronic module insertion and removal such as when high insertion/extraction forces are exerted in small spaces. To secure or unsecure the module a frame is mounted to a cabinet housing the high insertion module. The frame includes a lever assembly that fixedly rotates about an axle attached at each end to a hub. The hub is allowed to rotate to one or more fixed angular positions that move the lever proximity relative to the front surface of the high insertion module. Applying a pressure to the lever rotates the lever until the module is either secured or unsecured from its cabinet.
