The top latch rod and the bottom latch rod are coupled to a plate via associated latch rod pins. The plate is coupled to a shaft around which the plate is capable of rotating the latch mechanism includes a lever suitably configured to facilitate the rotating of the plate. The geometry of the lever suitably provides a decreasing output and increasing input effective lever arms.
