Vehicles, load floor latch assemblies, and latches are provided for selectively securing and accessing a compartment in a vehicle. The load floor latch assembly includes a load floor having an upper surface and a lower surface. The load floor is positionable at a lowered position. The load floor latch assembly further includes a latch rotatable about a pivot axis to a closed configuration for securing the load floor at the lowered position. The latch includes a lower support arm and an upper clamp arm. In the closed configuration the lower support arm supports the lower surface of the load floor and at least a portion of the weight of the load floor is exerted on the lower support arm and applies a torque on the latch to impart a downward force from the upper clamp arm.
