A latch assembly includes a casing defining a lever chamber and a spring chamber and having a wall interposed between the lever chamber and the spring chamber and formed with a shaft-extension hole to permit extension of a coupler shaft therethrough such that a pivot portion of the shaft extends into the lever chamber and a threaded portion of the shaft is disposed outwardly of the spring chamber. The threaded portion is formed with a pair of axially aligned grooves. A coupler portion of a latch member is formed with a shaft hole confined by a hole-confining wall for extension of the threaded portion therethrough, and a pair of engaging tongues that extend inwardly and radially from the hole-confining wall and that slidably and respectively engage the slots in the shaft so as to permit sliding movement of the latch member along the length of the shaft and so as to facilitate mounting and removal of the latch member on and from the shaft.
