  • Publication number: 20240151069
    Abstract: A door handle and locking system includes a base, a latching mechanism, a handle, a safety latch mechanism, and a biasing member having a biasing force. The latching mechanism is movable from a latched position to an unlatched position. The handle is connected to the base and is movable in response to a first force from a first position to a second position. Moving the handle from the first position to the second position moves the latching mechanism from the latched position to the unlatched position. The safety latch mechanism moves from a first position to a second position upon application of a force to the biasing member exceeding the biasing force. The safety latch mechanism remains in the first position upon movement of the handle from the first position to the second position.
