1. A method of opening doors of a cargo container provided with a latch mechanism having locking brackets and pivotal levers engaged with the locking brackets, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a leverage tool comprising an elongated tool handle having a longitudinal axis and a proximate end and a distal end, and a tubular engaging member having a central axis, said engaging member comprising a tubular body having a first open end and a second open end, said engaging member being provided with a cutout formed a distance from the first open end and the second open end, said engaging member being secured to the proximate end of the tool handle such that the central axis of the engaging member extends at the acute angle in relation to the longitudinal axis of the tool handle and the engaging member extends such that the first open end projects toward the distal end of the elongate tool handle; positioning the engaging member in alignment with the pivotal lever of the cargo container; sliding the engaging member over the pivotal lever of the cargo container; moving the engaging member toward the pivotal lever to cause a free end of the pivotal lever to extend from the first open end through said cutout; and applying pivotal force to the tool handle, thereby transmitting amplified pivotal force to the pivotal lever and releasing the pivotal lever from locking engagement with the locking bracket. |
