A trigger (32) is carried on the handle and is selectively engageable with the bolt to manually open the latch. The roller amount has a roller mount base. One end of the coil spring contacts the roller mount base. The opposing end of the coil spring contacts the block. The roller pin is rotably mounted to the roller mount. The bolt is rotatably mounted to the housing moveable between a latched and an unlatched position and is used to engage the aircraft structure. The bolt has a secured position. The bolt is held in its secured position by the coil spring which biases the roller pin against the bolt. The handle is rotably mounted to the bolt and is moveable between a latched position and an unlatched position, without the use of a tool.
