Abstract
A slam latch mechanism employs an actuation lever rotatable from a first position to a second position and having a prong extending therefrom. A bolt, resiliently retractable from an extended position with the actuation lever in the first position, has a land with a slip surface engaging the prong in the second position to retract the bolt. A dampener extends from the slip surface by a margin to engage the prong in the first position to prevent metal to metal contact by the prong and slip surface with the actuation lever in the first position.
