A vacuum actuated mechanical latch (34) which is attachable to a hermetically sealable container (10) is described. The latch (34) is attached, formed, or otherwise integral with the door (12) of the container (10). The latch (34) is easily engaged and disengaged by processing equipment (14). Also, the latch (34) is designed to minimize the amount of abraded particulate and further isolates any particulate generated. Further, when the door (12) is latched to the container (10), the latch (34) is not easily overcome by jarring or bumping. The lead-in surface (88) of the latch (34) is angled to minimize friction when the latch (34) is forced into a first locking position.
