A latch is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position releasably connecting a latch mounting pin on a first static structural element to a keeper on a second, movable structural element. The latch includes means for adjusting the throw of the hook to accommodate different distances between the latch mounting pin and the keeper due to manufacturing tolerances or different applications. The latch has a tension mechanism, a hook connected to the tension mechanism, and a handle pivotably connected to the tension mechanism and operable to actuate the tension mechanism between engaged and disengaged positions with the keeper. The latch is operable between the engaged and disengaged positions by rotating the handle between a closed position and an open position.
