Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved latching mechanism for use on doors and in particular, mini storage doors. The improved latching mechanism includes a latch and latch plate which permits the latch to have an open position and a closed position. Attached to the latch is at least one loop, whereby a person can insert a finger or prosthesis into the loop to facilitate moving the improved latch from its closed position to its open position and vice versa.
